Hmmm good questions. I don't really have much experience with this so
I hope others who have done some screencasts before can chime in.
The goal was to have it posted on YouTube and some of the more foss
friendly sites and then spread it via planet and microblogs and so on.
The resolution has to be at least high enough to not be blurry and so
people can see what you are showing (like a city or some wikipedia
page) but I guess you know that one already ;-)
Sorry to not be more helpful here.
People who have done some screencasts before: please give some feedback.


Cheers
Lydia
