In last post, I wrote about the two most popular screencasting software out there in the market. I understand, however, that not many of us are willing to cough up hundreds of dollars just to create a short demo of our simple product.
Are there any alternatives out there that are cheaper, or better yet, that are free to use?
I’ve got good news for you … there are. I’ve done a bit of research and have found two such screencast software: Camstudio and Wink.
I have not used either software so I can’t comment on how good they are. But from a quick read of other people’s opinions, Wink seems to be the preferred free screencast software to use. If you do check out these software, don’t be shy to leave a comment on what you think of them.
Wink is great, thanks for the recommendation!
hey thanks, found wink through this site!!!

Wink is totally cool. No promo logo around the window.
Try http://www.webinaria.com for a free Windows screencasting tool – let's you convert to Flash and upload online for free.
Looks promising, Chris. Will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Hi is it me or is something wrong?
I would like to make some of my screencasts using the free tools but when I try to go to wink.com it says free people search not free screen casts. is this a real software or a April fools joke or am I missing something?
Nigel, you've got the wrong URL. Try clicking on the Wink link in the post above.
I also got a free screencast app here: have2chat screencast (unlimited record time)
