Hi Matt,

and thanks for your suggestions.
By the way the video is only an experimental attempt to see if it's 
possible to create short videos (i.e. hot to create a shipment, how to 
create a production run, how to create a bill of material etc...) in 
order to provide (quick and dirty) user documentation.
The time needed to create this kind of docs is certainly less than the 
time needed to write down a more 'traditional' user guide...

I would like to hear the community feedback about this subject.

About the avi format and the voice narration: it was only an experiment, 
I've downloaded the first (shareware) screen capturing software I've 
found (Frontcam from www.maxfeel.com) and I've captured the video using 
the default setup and without a microphone ;-)
Your suggestions about the best tool to use (an open source tool would 
be beautiful) is obviously welcome!

Jacopo
