How frustrating! I tried both Screentoast and Screenjelly (after creating accounts for both) and neither would function properly. They would both timeout in trying to access the Java applet. (And even their help sections were unavailable. ARGH!!) Funny thing is my MacBook is only a few months old and I double-checked to make sure all the software is updated. I then joined and tried Jing and that seem to direct me to ScreenCast, but after viewing the tutorial, it seems more gear to organizing things after they're 'captured'. So, . . . I came back to Jing, but I can't figure out how to do anything but capture a whole slew of individual screenshots. It seems like a pretty tedious and inefficient way of doing things, particularly after seeing what ScreenToast and ScreenJelly purportedly do. Can I be so dense that the issues I encountered are not encountered by anyone else and thus don't warrant some instructions to circumvent such problems? (That's a rhetorical question folks, there's no need to respond affirmatively to my question.)
Well, the epilogue here is that I contacted Mike 'SuperMac' Flender and he suggested the problem might be my browser. I use Firefox most of the time - though you may notice that I watch Gameday on Safari -- and I was apparently using an older version of Firefox. After updating to version 3.6.8, ScreenToaster now works for me . . . but my personal Gmail account is all screwed up on Firefox. Double ARGH! And Screentoaster won't recognize my authentication for YouTube (though I can easily log directly onto YouTube with the same information). In any case, here's my lame video. Let me know how many times I say 'actually'.
