Distribution

Screencasts are great to watch, but they're better to share. One issue with screencasts can be their size. A video of a few minutes long of a full-sized desktop with audio can be many megabytes in size. Distributing this volume of data can be tricky and expensive. There are options for making video available for zero price or low-cost though.

Upload to google video

Google accepts AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, Real and Windows Media files which may contain video encoded with H.264, H.263, MPEG 1/2/4 and MJPEG. Although not stated in their documentation, Ogg-Theora and some other video formats can also be uploaded by changing the file extension to .avi and then uploading.
