[AG-TECH] Recording Access Grid Sessions

[Joe Monahan]

We had similar problems. The default codec in Camtasia has a 2 gig 
limit - when you get there the app just shuts down - no warning, no 
saved file. You can change the codec though if your recording for a 
long time with a lot of screen movement -

 From within Camtasia you can do some simple editing, then output the 
file as any of a bunch of formats, streaming, etc.
