YES, this is a video where I have captured a video of my desktop AND added in audio.
A how-to guide on producing a type of border I’m fond of using (namely in banners, AKA signature images for forums). IMO, a step up from the simple (if effective) standard monocolor, solid borders most people use.
I’m not very concise, as per usual, since I didn’t carefully plan this out. However, the tutorial is still explained, both visually, and audibly.
BTW: Not sure, but I think I said, early on, “CTRL + Shift + New”, instead of “CTRL + Shift + N”, if so, my mistake.
No, I didn’t use camstudio this time, I used the x64 version of Windows Media Encoder. Much better quality (you can even read the text), and the filesizes are still reasonable. Part of the reason for the smaller file size, is that I really don’t do much on the screen, most of the screen is the same for much of the video, and changes that are made also tend to stay. It was recorded (by the program) @ 720p, which is fine, since that’s what youtube uses anyhow.
Also, that wallpaper was designed by me, ages ago, as a PS3 wallpaper.
Try programs like GIMP or Paint.Net if you want free alternatives to Photoshop, though I don’t know if they have a Gaussian Blur effect as an option.
Programs I used; Photoshop CS4, Windows Media Encoder (x64), Windows Movie Maker, OS = Vista X64

Nice picture! Did you use a tablet? If not, it would be cool to see what you can do with one. Grab one at futureshop for $100 and draw some stuff! I have a wacom bamboo fun tablet or something like that.
Have a good one.
