We're proud to announce the release of the Screencast.com Uploader for the Mac! If you're having trouble using our Web Uploader or if you want to upload files larger than 100 MB, give one of our Desktop Uploaders a try.

Features:

• Upload files larger than 100 MB
• Queue multiple files for upload
• Select a destination folder in your Screencast.com library
• Drag and drop files onto the Uploader for quick and easy uploading

The Windows Desktop Uploader has been updated to match--your uploading experience will be the same regardless of platform.

Screencast on your iPod

Screencast.com has added support for the iPod Web browser so videos embedded on your own Web site or blog play back properly when viewed from an iPod Touch or iPhone. Embed knowing that even the most on-the-go viewer can watch your videos.

Did you know that you can allow viewers to download your videos?

From inside your library or folder, click on the Edit icon of the media you would like to make available for download.

Make sure the "Hide Download" link is unchecked to enable users to download the video.

Remember that as the owner of the media, you will always see the download media link when you are logged into your account . If you are not logged in, the link is only available if you make it available.

Here is a short video (under 2 minutes) that walks you through the entire process.

Enjoy.

• The workflow for the uploader has changed just a little. No need to select files and then press Upload anymore; your files are uploaded as soon as you select them.
• The new required version of the Adobe Flash plug-in for using the uploader is 9.0.115. If you’re having trouble seeing Flash content on Screencast.com, check out this post.
• Instead of taking you to a new login page, there’s now a login box in the header when you’re not logged in. Logging out also keeps you on your current page.
• We began working on redesigning our Help Center. The search functionality is vastly improved (searches should no longer return ten pages of results) and the results are listed with a description of their contents, like you might see on Google.
• We’ve added links to this blog on the homepage, in the footer, and in the Find Answers box. Check back (or add us to your RSS reader) for information on Screencast.com development, tutorials, and general screencasting tips and tricks.

1) Close all browser windows.
2) Uninstall Flash Player using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.
Note: Some users have reported greater success if they reboot at this time.
3) Reinstall the Flash Player Plugin from Adobe.

If you continue to have a difficult time viewing Flash content on Screencast.com we want to know about it! Please contact TechSmith's Technical Support team here, or feel free to leave a comment below.

Screencast.com Team
Lead Test Engineer

We apologize for any inconvenience.

So - with all that said, let's start to meet the team that's been working for so long to give you Screencast.com!

Dirk Frazier - Product Manager

Hi everyone - my name is Dirk Frazier and while I've worked at TechSmith for almost four years, I took over as the Product Manager of Screencast.com back in July 2007. My background is diverse, ranging from stints in the worlds of gas plasma technology, to the automotive industry, to the wonderful world of software development where I've done Web application and database programming, sales and sales engineering, and now product management. I love technology and can't seem to keep my fingers out of all things new and cool - which is a nice way of saying my IT department hates me. I look forward to establishing and growing an ongoing dialog with everyone so please don't be shy and help us make Screencast.com the best that it can be.

Hi. My name is John Wood. I have worked at TechSmith for over 2 years, mostly working on Screencast.com. I have been a developer for a long time and have worn many hats.

I am a huge Michigan State University sports fan, as evidenced by naming my dog Sparty (which was a little more unique when I lived in Wisconsin). I love programming and everything else related to bringing you a great product. I hope you enjoy our blog and find it very useful.
