Screencast and Picture-in-Picture

Picture-in-Picture means you insert a video within a Camtasia screencast. Here are some observations.

1. I can't seem to produce the FLV files for Flash. Same goes for certain WMV file settings (some error about not being able to write to the disk).

2. The SWF files for a 5-minute screencast are quite huge (over 46MB)

3. You'll need a fast PC to process the Flash or WMV files. Or be very patient.

4. It may be better to distribute your PIP screencasts via CD. If you opt to deliver it via the web, just do a straightforward screencast or online video tutorial. Don't use PIP.

5. Was able to produce a smaller WMV file (Screencast, Powerpoint, Audio Medium):
