Hi Joe,
In my opinion, Captivate 2.0 offers much better quality
preservation during the resizing operation. As a matter of fact, a
resize of 10-15% in Captivate 2 will negligibly impact image
quality. If you don't have it now, download and try it out (for
hundreds of reasons in addition to just "resizing" benefits).
Beyond that, you can always scroll during recording (either
horizontally or vertically) to show "hidden" portions of the
application.
This may be necessary if resizing won't work. It is the
natural result when an application is designed by complete idiots
and dolts who don't give a thought to their users resources during
the application design stage. Sadly , many thoughtless application
designers think because their development environment includes
monitors with UXGA displays (1600 x 1200), that is what they should
develop their applications for.
Sorry for the rant, but every time I hear of problems like
this, I get mad all over again. Back when most users were on
800x600 screens I worked for dumb-bells that decided their
application had to be 1024x768
minimum.
When I pointed out that the application was too large for 80%
of our end-users, their reply was "If they want our application,
they'll buy new monitors and video cards". As though we were giving
the application away (Not!!) and users should be happy that we
forced them to spend a fortune to upgrade their equipment. It still
irks me that I wasted several years working for idiots like that
(they eventually fired me for "not being a good corporation man",
just prior to their own bankruptcy. LOL! Okay, I feel better now.
