RayOxide Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I was wondering what a good, free screen recorder is? Hypercam is good, but I either have to torrent it to get rid of the unregistered hypercam 2, or have that thing in the corner. I also tried Fraps but the files are MASSIVE. Also a good, free video editor? Hopefully one that wont give me grief with trimming if I need to. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change the fps with fraps I think. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Bouwzie Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you decide to use Camtasia, you should torrent it anyway. Or look at a Torrent site for the cd-key. And yes, you can choose where to record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayOxide Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm using camtasia since my friend used it too, so I can get a few out of him. But apparently there's no way to get rid of the green lines when you zoom.. Is that true? I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've used it a few weeks ago actually. Edit: Found it again, have to turn off 'Apply Zoom-Pan Hints in the options.

Stragomagus Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 What about a legally free option such as Camstudio? http://camstudio.org/ Camstudio cannot handle videos with over 100,000 frames in them and if he plans on making long videos that is bad. Another thing is that you only have the option of "Avi" and if you try to down convert videos that were recorded in Camstudio the quality suffers very badly. A problem with Camtasia on the other hand is that depending on the height and width of your video everything that is recorded will end up with a lot of herky jerky movements. here are some free screen recorders: http://www.nbxsoft.com/screen-recorder.php http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx http://www.brothersoft.com/free-screen- ... 60122.html Quote - Revenge is such a nasty thing that only breeds more vengeful souls, but in some situations revenge does not even need to be sought out, but only bided.

It is because CamStudio uses version 1.0 of the AVI format, limiting the file to 2 GB in size. Once CamStudio uses the OpenDML (AVI 2.0) format, files with extremely large sizes (larger than anyone's hard drive) will work fine. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looce Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'll add a note to this thread: look for compression options in your screen recording application of choice; change the codec to be something other than Full Frames (Uncompressed), if it is that. This will save you a lot of hard drive space. Be aware that some codecs can be slow. Since I've used Camtasia for a while to make screen capture videos, I've found the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec to be fast, yet lossless, though this was mainly for low-movement captures (most desktop apps) and RuneScape.

This will save you a lot of hard drive space. Unless I am missing some hidden stuff I have to be completely pro with computing to see, Camtasia saves a file of 30 seconds or so to 12kb, and its uploadable on YT. :o Probably way off and its compressed or something. Edit: Found it again, have to turn off 'Apply Zoom-Pan Hints in the options. Camtasia 5/6 > Tools > Options > Zoom Problem solved :) Thanks alot, Rick. ;) I dont need a siggy no moar.

____ Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 @Ray_Oxide: No problem :) @Stragomagus: I use Camtasia daily and I am yet to encounter this: A problem with Camtasia on the other hand is that depending on the height and width of your video everything that is recorded will end up with a lot of herky jerky movements. If you're getting herky jerky movements, your frame rate is too low for what you are recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Latios Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Fraps is the best screen recorder. If you lag when using Fraps, it's not the program, it's your computer. I'm able to easily record with Fraps up to 60FPS on some games, and 50FPS on RuneScape with a 2.8GHz CPU. If you don't lag usually, it's your CPU. If RSHD is usually laggy for you anyway, upgrade your video card. Don't use Camtasia or Hypercam - those don't record in full quality.

hoola Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Personally fro me the best tool fro screen recording there is Screen VidShot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorra Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I use Fraps and yes the files are big but good quality, all I do is re-save it in a video editing program to lower the size by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'd suggest recording at the highest quality possible, then using another program to convert the filetype and quality. Hard drive space is so cheap now (1TB for $60) you really have no reason to not have enough HDD space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valter Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 You can try to use Screen VidShot.It's really cool screen recorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIngsly Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have used a free tried software, Extra Screen Capture Pro . Extra Screen Capture Pro can help create demo videos that record what's happening on PC desktop screen.Besides, it can record audio from any source, including microphone, line-in, or speakers. I have got it from http://www.92download.com/wiki/Extra_Screen_Capture_Pro :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy97 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 For Windows, there are some screen recording applications to help record video of screen, like DemoCreator(30 days for trial version), Camtasia(Full function for 30 days trial but high price), Adobe Captive(Great but high price). Those are able to edit your screen recording before finalizing. The free ones such as Camstudio, Jing project just can record what happened on your screen. TipCam could be better if it improve its screen recording quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
