i was wondering if there is a jing like app that allows for screen capture with editing and maybe small movie creation like jing does to.. the part i dont like about jing is i cant upload to my own ftp server.. anyways ive gone through the freeware alternative list and there are so many(im testing them out right now) but none seem to have the video capture part of it.. so if any of you guys have a favorite app that does this kind of thing i would love to hear about it..

There's Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 whose latest SP1 version has unlimited screen capture and you can encode it to WMV free by trimming/editing or just share the capture in original format (viewers just need to install a Screen Capture codec). For encoding, it's a bit bloated and slow but great capture app.

so you want screen capture with built in send to ftp, faststone capture does this.

So you can take a screenshot, and then add notes, highlights, arrows, etc. etc.. And then send to ftp server you have setup.

it also does screen grabs (movies) but I don't think it has an autosend to ftp for that feature. But you could always just setup a folder you save to be sent to ftp.

Another option which might be better if your meaning to share these images with people would be just save your screengrabs/videos to dropbox.

thats close to what i need, but not quite there.. ive sent them an email asking for a howto or feature requests to be made..

"-ability to have the screen recording areas as hot keys

-ability to have to screen recordings uploaded to FTP

-ability to set the magnification of screen to equal to the area captured and not magnified at, especially the video capture..

-you have the ability to not be warned of a save after you are done editing your picture, but could we get the option to either upload to a specified default service(say ftp) after done editing, and also exit with no save prompt?"

Another option which might be better if your meaning to share these images with people would be just save your screengrabs/videos to dropbox.

ya i am sharing these with people, but i would prefer to have them on my own server.

But you could always just setup a folder you save to be sent to ftp.

how is this done?

Many ftp clients have the feature, or it could be a simple batch job you run on a schedule that uploads new files in a folder to your ftp. Or if you server has webdav you could use that as a folder to send your files to the server that users access via ftp.

You could setup rsync or unison to sync the files to your ftp server, etc. etc.

There is an FTP publishing plugin for Encoder but that would require re-encoding the screen capture. Also, it doesn't look like it works with newer Encoder versions. I haven't tested it myself.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
