LOL! So true! 9% of users on a Mac and no mention of similar PC versions available. That’s Mac users for you ;-)

Talk about poor usability. We need a Windows version, for crying out loud. The masses don’t use Macs. The irony is too much.

We started using Silverback recently and it's hard to argue the value-to-price ratio. I agree with other commenters that a Windows version would help. There are usability differences and ergonomics of working with a Mac vs. a PC, even if the user is just interacting with a web browser.

Apparently folks are finding it cumbersome to export video from Silverback.

Solution: Perhaps the Silverback team can look into integrating the Seesmic API and offload the video part to the Seesmic platform and give your users access to the video this way. Just a thought!

BBFlashback is way better option for usability tests then camtasia… and is much cheaper… only 39 bucks

@Will
This was a review of Silverback, not a comparison of all options out there. If this were a comparison, then I would have listed PC alternatives. It isn’t about other alternatives, it’s about giving more information and insight into Silverback.

I appreciate the feedback, but comparing wasn’t really the point or purpose of this article.

Thank you for the information on Camtasia. I don’t have experience with it, but can now look into it further.

It’s a great suite, but I have only successfully exported a single video, and that was at the lowest quality. Five other sessions all fail during export. Not because of size either. For this reason alone I’d at least like to be able to WATCH the videos from within Silverback before exporting.

It’d also be nice to edit session names and so forth, along with other usability features… considering the nature of the app IS indeed usability. :)
