CamStudio 2 on the Acer Aspire One

I have been using Windows Media Encoder 9 to do some screen recording on the AA1, but have not been all that pleased with the results after being uploaded to YouTube. So I sought out another freeware alternative. I gave CamStudio 2 a go, and have found that it does provide better output, in the form of AVI type files, as compared to Media Encoder and the WMV format. The AVI files start streaming sooner when viewed as opposed to the WMV files that need to fully buffer before the video starts. CamStudio can be downloaded from SourceForge.net at this link, along with CamStudio Video Codec. The additional codec is optional. Installation went well, with no special considerations required during the installation. The CamStudio documentation is good, but hardly needed as most options will be self explanatory to users. Below is a short example of the video CamStudio can produce.
