I know you must be thinking doing video production would require expensive software and there is a learning curve. And you're absolutely correct!

The good news is there are 5 popular ways which you can capture video.

1. Use a Camcorder
2. Digital Camera With Video Recording Function
3. Webcam ( most popular among bloggers)
4. Screen Capture Software ( e.g Camtasia)
5. Cell Phones With Video Capture Function

Well, unless you're a real whiz at photo shooting, the average people like us can easily stick to options 3 and 4 and.  If you have a high end cell phone, option 5 would be your choice.

Special note for people using webcam with Windows XP.  You can easily record videos directly from your webcam to your computer.  Thanks to Microsoft Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP, you can straight record videos from any video or audio device which is connected to your computer.

Another great feature about Movie maker is when you record video, it will automatically saves your video to a low size file. (saving your hard disk space)

So you see, recording is very easy with a click. Next, settings your prefered values and once done you can just click the Record button inside your settings screen.

Not to mention there are plenty of video on Youtube.com teaching you how to record or edit video.

Let's now look into screen capture software that can be used to record your actions on the computer

Next, if you are an affiliate on the affiliate network, creating a video review of the software/infoproduct would give you a better conversion than a standard text review with static screenshots.

Cell Phone
