TechSmith has released an update to its lecture- and presentation-capturing software, Camtasia Relay 1.2. The program is designed to create a video or audio record of a lecture, presentation or meeting, which can then be saved as an MP4, MP3 or WMV file. The 1.2 update features improved Real Media output and smaller MP4 file sizes to help deliver faster file transfers. The company has also added support for the latest Snow Leopard and Windows 7 operating systems, along with Windows Server 2008 64-bit.

Other changes in the new version include enhanced LDAP integration and the ability to publish recordings using Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), which provides access to additional media servers such as Microsoft Sharepoint.

Camtasia Relay requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher and is priced at $8,000 for a single-server license. The company also offers academic licenses for $5,000.
