I would have to script it, and try to keep it around five minutes. About a megabyte seemed to be required for each minute of recording, which I thought was within reason.Ĭlearly, though, I could not just improvise my way all the way through a demonstration. I then plugged in my USB microphone, the Blue Snowflake, and tested it with commentary enough to see that the audio worked. It was working, saving a QuickTime mov file to the desktop, each time.
What else to do but try quitting and relaunching? That did the trick, though as usual in such cases, I’ll never know why. It seemed this might be an incompatibility with 10.5, as I had feared.
Nothing happened to indicate that the capture rectangle had been registered when I did that (several times). The on-screen instructions said to hit return to set the recording area. There was a draggable, resizable rectangle, which I could put exactly over the iPhone Simulator’s on-screen representation of the iPhone device. IShowU provided an easy, intuitive way to capture just the portion of the screen I wanted.

I decided to see how well version 1.7.2 would work before revisiting the upgrade or alternative software question.
#Idefrag keeps restarting serial number#
Perhaps some old email would have it, but that was enough to deter me from the upgrade, since I wasn’t even sure the serial number was in fact the required password. The good news was that the older version launched OK under 10.5, but the serial number turned out to be extremely long and with no way to copy it. I decided to launch the older version to see if the password might be found there. Unfortunately to get to the upgrade page, one had to enter a password, the meaning of which was not explained anywhere I could see. Since there was a discounted upgrade price I decided to look into the upgrade. This raised the question of whether the version I had would run under 10.5 at all.

There was, one that required Mac OS 10.5. First I went to its web site to see if there was a new version. I already had used a Macintosh program iShowU for making a screencast demo of OnScreen Particle Physics, OnScreen Science’s modern physics teaching software, so my first thought was to try iShowU. Since most button taps lead to the tapped button’s being highlighted, it should be easy for the viewer to follow the action, imagining the invisible finger or thumb of the user. That may be true, but given my resources and my impression of some rather pathetic online videos of iPhone game play, where the player’s fingers really got in the way, and the focus was poor, I decided to opt for making a screen recording of the app running in the iPhone Simulator, which Apple provides for testing apps under development. I originally thought that a video of me or someone else tapping the buttons on the screen would be best, as being more realistic and possibly making the viewer want to start doing the same thing.
Not knowing either the timetable or the exact procedure for the Apple review, I also felt the need to get something online as soon as possible, just in case an Apple reviewer, with the app’s fate in his or her hands, came to the web site looking for help in using it.

I clearly needed a video presentation of OnScreen Pitch Count that showed both how to use the app and what it was to be used for. Most of them should be immediately obvious, but the sheer number of buttons might make learning seem an unpleasant task, at first glance. The draft user’s guide for OnScreen Pitch Count details what every screen button is for. Even so, describing how it works, using only words and still images can be tedious and may give the impression that it’s more complicated than it is. My iPhone app OnScreen Pitch Count (submitted to Apple, but not yet approved for App Store placement) is easy to use.
