Microsoft Camcorder 10.0

Microsoft Camcorder is a screen-capture technology that allows easy creation of movies. It is a simple but powerful movie recorder and playback utility. It captures screen events, stores them as a portable file, and allows playback. This utility enables you to create movies and save them in an .avi file format or export them in an .exe file format. The greatest advantage is that people who receive the .exe file can play the movie without having Camcorder installed on their computers.

This article explains the steps for creating a sample movie in an .avi file format and for creating an .exe that you can share with someone who does not have Camcorder installed on his or her computer.

NOTE: Microsoft Camcorder is not included with Microsoft Office 2000, although if you already installed Camcorder, it still works under Office 2000.

The Microsoft Camcorder is not installed automatically when you install Microsoft Office. In order to use Camcorder, you must first install Camcorder.
