ScreenToaster News
Back on December 2 of last year I wrote about ScreenToaster.com. If you don’t remember the service, you can get more information at ScreenToaster.com or in my previous post about them. Basically they are a website which does screen captures in video without the need to install another program. (Assuming you’re running a modern browser on a somewhat recent system [ScreenToaster actually uses Java])
I got an interesting email yesterday about some new features:
- Upload your screen captures to Youtube… in HD!
- Download your screen captures as
.movfiles. - A new API (this seems the most exciting to me, personally)
They’ve also added much more capability (to quote from the email):
>What changed since February :
- New categories and subcategories
- Four levels of privacy
- Direct upload to Google Video for featured videos
- Download in .swf file formats
- Record from external VNC servers
- Accelerated or slow-motion playback / Pauses during recording
- Spread on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Digg
- Bookmark it on Delicious, Stumble Upon, Yahoo Buzz and Google Bookmark
- Send your video by mail
- Suggested videos on the video pages
- Branded profiles
- Search filters: “most commented”, by “language”…
- Custom RSS feeds
This is, in a single word, amazing! ScreenToaster is already one of my favorite and essential utilities, but now it’s many time more interesting.
Back in my earlier review I complained about the lack of audio recording, that’s been added, the frame-rate seems to have improved, and now the videos aren’t ‘stuck’ in ScreenToaster with these new export functions (to Youtube, download as .swf and .mov files. I can’t wait to use all of this!
One last comment: did I mention this is free?

Thanks for the information. I haven’t seen anything like ScreenToaster before. It's very nice applications for screen recording. Screen Toaster makes things simple as a “click-record-upload” process.
