Honourable mentions
Sometimes as a webmaster you come across somebody who's just so plain helpful and pleasant to deal with, that you just have to return the favour.Such a one is Kirill Shmelev of NCH Software
I'd been battling for weeks to take a decent screen-capture movie of MidiPiano playing the free Musicarta MIDI files, chiefly to demonstrate MidiPiano's effectiveness as a learning tool, but I was getting only horrible jerky results from all the 'free trial' software I could download.
More to the point, appeals to the software writers for help either met a blank wall or reams of still-more-confusing technical jargon.
Kirill was the only person who answered in plain English and then went to the trouble of testing the two applications and politely suggesting my creaky seven-year-old computer might be at the heart of the problem.
NCH Software make a host of audio-visual applications, and one of them might well make your life easier or more productive. I can certainly vouch for the quality of their support. Please click through and have a look, and, thanks, Kirill!
