Quick Tip: Make A Windows Instructional Video

Bob Russell · 02-11-2005, 09:29 AM

Have you ever wanted to explain to someone how to set up a PDA desktop companion program on their PC? A lot of portable devices and PDAs are used in conjunction with a multitude of desktop software titles. And we have all spent a lot of time trying to communicate how to set them up or use them via email or phone. But there's a better way.

It turns out there is an easy and free way to do this. Take a look at this PC Magazine article which describes how to use free Microsoft Windows Media Encoder software to create a video tutorial.

And please add your thoughts to this discussion if you have found alternative ways to do this, or have Mac/Linux solutions.

Wow thanks for this info. I could have used this to help me learn more about my Palm. Pity not more sites have instructional videos like this.
