ok, so when my brother moved out of the house and i got the cruddy computer upstairs that was 100 times slower than my brothers one, and it can't take a lot of info (can't download stuff like complex games such as guild wars etc.) and i've tried downloading camtasia and all those screen recording programs to either end up having them not being able to be downloaded into the computer, or, when they are, i can't save the final products to gif.! and that's the main reason i want a screen recording program, to record a moment in runescape in any signatures i decide to make in the future in photoshop, but i can't find any program that allows me to save to gif. i did find one, but it was so hard to understand that i ended up having to put it in recycle bin (you actually had to type in all this technical stuff just to turn the saved file into gif. form)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

does anyone know where i can get a simple screen recording program that allows me to save the final product as a gif. format? ty in advance =)

As I said in another thread, use Super to convert a movie/video file to a gif. So basically find a good screen recording program (Camtasia, Hypercam etc) make sure after you film it's saved as a WMV or AVI (WMV preffered though) then convert it with Super to make it into a gif.

 

 

 

Alternativly, you can use Adobe Imageready to save videos to gifs aswell.

I don't know so much about what format it uses, but my dad has this really awesome program called Snagit. It can record selcted parts of your screen, select an object on the web to get its code, and has a graphic editor 10 times better than paint.
