Camtasia is pretty straightforward so I'm not going to explain. Just make sure you produce your video as a .avi in the end.

Get the xvid codec from http://www.xvid.org/

Install xvid codec.

Get virtualdub from http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

Start Virtual Dub and open the video file you got out of camtasia.

In the Audio menu check that "source audio" and "direct stream copy" are checked.


In the video menu select "compression"


In the following pop-up select "XVID" and press "configure".


Fill in the 3 top fields as indicated by the screenshot.


Save your compressed video. This could take a few minutes, depending on your computer speed.

If the video comes out too blurry try again with a higher bitrate.
