XTRALEAN  iShowU is a great little app. I used it for our screencast tutorials for one of our products a few years back. I did a quick tutorial for a new product the other day on a MacBook with OS X 10.6 and iShowU was just fabulous again. Will be doing a series of tutorials again.

Currently using iShowU version 1.75

PJM  More than 100% CPU usage is not such a tough trick if you have two CPU's... (and, depending on how you calculate even if you just have multiple cores on a single chip).

PIXELJUNKEY  Nice product but BIG system resource hog... on dual core Macbook pros, a 24 fps capture with audio uses over 100% CPU and causes the fans to spin up constantly.

PJM  Can you really not guess?

(a) it's not "every few days"

(b) you don't have to update: the world will not explode

(c) plenty of users would prefer to have fixes released promptly

(d) all of the above.

Make your choice...

LAINSNAVI  Garbled video in 1.61! Yargh, back to 1.6. I'd make more of a fuss, but anything after 1.55 is a test version.

Mac OS X 10.5.2

Intel Mac mini

1.66GHz Core Duo

2GB DDR2 SDRAM

GMA 950 with 64MB of shared memory

IAMDORIAN  More capture .. for the buck. Although things like the marquee are not as slick as it's chief competitors', this is a great app for a good price. Way to go!

GAMER9ER   Fixes

o Fixed a memory leak that could cause a crash after 10+ hours of recording.

o Fixed incorrect audio (left/right) balance when "Record system audio" is enabled.

Changes

o Reworked all presets. Most now use Apple Animation (generally better for performance), added a preset for WoW that uses Apple Intermediate (if available) or Apple Animation with a slightly reduced frame rate if AIC isn't present. Presets are now included for iMovie HD, iMovie and YouTube / Blip.TV. If the FCP uncompressed codecs are present, then presets are created for these as well. Note: The new presets will only appear for new users. If you want you can reset your existing presets (see the Edit menu), but this will erase your existing presets.

o Sorting for descriptors is now case insensitive (generally makes more sense).

o Default microphone and system audio volumes are now 100%.
