Well, this has an exceptional solution. There are a few software that can do this for you.

The software that can do this are FRAPS and SnagIt. Well, for all of you out there who already have similar ideas and knowledge to what I am describing at the moment, you can obviously choose your custom procedures. For beginners, recording a video or capturing a snap while playing will now be at the snap of a finger.

First of, let's deal with the software SnagIt. This software helps record video from live moments on your computer screen or take a snap. So, if you're playing a computer game or just want to sneak peek on who's using your computer when you're not around; you could record every movement including mouse behavior. The software is very easily available and is a freeware. So, just Google for the software or visit www.snagit.en.softonic.com to avail the software. 

For FRAPS, you could Google the term as well. These software are quite renowned and you'll get them instantly. FRAPS is especially good because it does not increase memory usage to a large extent comparatively. So, your gaming experience would not be hampered. The software can also be availed at the fraps official website.

The software detail

Once you have installed the software, you will see a window appear with all the available options. Here, you can choose the mode of recording. There are options for full screen record, custom width and height, specific window record and so on. In this way, you select the area of your screen onto which the video shall be levied. Other options include taking instant snapshots of the screen. 

Video recording settings help you judge the quality of the video that is being recorder. you could set custom values for minute details such as frame rate and bit rate. You could even choose to show or hide the mouse pointer while the video gets recorded. 

Amazed !? Well, I was when I first came to know of these software. I love them as I am a gaming freak myself and I am sure that it would amuse you too at some time or the other. Just press the hot keys for recording or snap, and there it is. Your video is ready to be social.

Here's a little example of the wonderful work that these software can do

Easy methods to create a header text image in Photoshop

Photoshop allows you to do almost anything when we speak of image design and development. I happened to design an image myself. The image was basically a header text image for one of the websites I was working on. You could call it a logo. Initially, I tried to design an image that would contain a text ( or logo ), and the text would have some effect ( i mean it should not look dull and simple ).

Working with timezone and hourly time in PHP

PHP is a very useful as well as interesting language for developers. I personally love working with PHP because it is completely hassle free and gives enough flexibility with the syntax too. 

Anyways, in this post I would like to mention to all of you guys out there who are associated with web development that, my latest project was something quite close knit to time zones of the world. I was totally freaked out when I first understood the concept and had to start off. But, later on I figured out a simpler way to deal with time zones and several different hourly slots of the day.
