This week's Screencast of the Week comes from Paul Pival, also known as the Distance Librarian.

Paul recently uploaded one of his screencasts made with Camtasia Studio to Viddler which is a site where you can upload and share your videos. There are some cool features in Viddler, like the ability to tag specific spots within your video. So, I can send someone to the exact spot I want them to start watching in a video - this way they don't have to watch the entire video or try to find the time I tell them to start watching it at. I also love that you can post comments on Viddler at specific spots in the video and everyone can see or respond to them. It's like community screencasting!

You can click play on the video below to watch Paul's screencast. If you'd like to read Paul's blog post about Viddler, click here.

Viddler will take the following formats: .mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .wmv, .aviSo, you have several choices for your Camtasia Studio screencasts since Camtasia will creat .mov, .wmv and .avi videos. And, it looks like Viddler will scale your videos down to 540 x 360 so that can change the quality and clarity of your screencast. But you can switch to a full screen mode so you can watch your video at the original dimensions.

And, I love the subject of Paul's screencast - Meebo. If you look on the right hand side of the Visual Lounge, you'll notice that there is a little widget that you can Instant Message me directly. Try out Meebo on your own site or blog - it's great!

Anyone else using their Camtasia Studio videos on Viddler? What's your experience been?
