5 minutes screencasts max.
swf files only
"clumsy" mouse movements during screencast...
For the same price and a better quality, you can use Quicktime 10 (on Snow Leopard and more) which allows you to record your screen...

I was trying to figure out why my MBP battery usage was higher than usual. Sure enough, Jing increases average battery usage by 1.0W... when completely idle. That's not okay.

Second, don't open it with QT- open it with Safari. If you can't figure out how, hold Command and Option, then drag it to the Safari icon in your Dock or wherever.

Also, I'm not going to get rid of my real player--too useful for too many other things. Never tell someone to discard one app that in order to use another one. That is just plain and simple, poor design.
Sorry, folks, I uninstalled Jing the same day I got it, and I have no plans to try it again. It's just not ready yet.

Most apps that do support SWF files only have support up to version 5, 6 or 7 as well. What you're saying is that you would also expect a Realplayer file to work in, say, QuickTime because it just should.
But you say you need Realplayer. It's the same as using Adobe's player.

I do not expect Jing to open anything with RealPlayer. I would expect Jing to open a video file in its very own player.
Go back to my original comment: I said that when I saved a file in Jing, the format was by default .swf. This is a Real Player format. When I double-clicked the file to open it, it automatically opened--or tried to open--in Real Player, not Jing. But then Real Player crashed before the file could open. This led me to conclude that Jing was using Real Player as its file helper.
I was able to open that same file successfully--no crashing--in QuickTime, by right-clicking, then choosing QT from the "Open With" menu. That worked.
I wanted to set preferences in Jing for such things as (1) default file format, and /or (2) default video player. No such preferences exist. Without such control over how Jing behaves, it's a dead-end app in its current state, as far I'm concerned.

First, Jing is not a video player--I recognize that. What it needs is a way for users to select video players.
Second, .swf is not RealPlayer's sole format--it is a format that plays in RealPlayer, but it is actually a Flash format.
Someone here said "download the stand-alone Flash player." I'm looking at jing's website now, to see what it says about its connection with Flash. The only indication I get of this is waaayyy down at the end of its FAQ, where it lists system requirements. Why not put it on the top page, with a big asterisk, "Requires Adobe Flash Player."
Otherwise, if the designers aren't able/willing to do that, redesign it.

When I said 'get rid of RealPlayer', I meant that because it is a terrible app, not because of compatibility.

1. SWF means Shockwave File - a Flash format
2. SWF is not a Real format, it belongs to Adobe
3. When I recommended the official standalone player, I meant use Adobe's official standalone player

Jing modifies the prefs when you click on video capture (from internal to line entry), so there will be no audio on the resulting video when you want to use internal microphone.
A workaround: get open the prefs window and rechange it manually before starting your speech, a little bit painfull :-(
Support says that it's affecting only ppc.
Unless this hassle it's good stuff.
