When it comes down to it, a lot of the time you need more than just a still image from a screen. Yes, a screenshot sometimes does the trick but what do you do in cases wheer you need to show some on-screens such as, showing a tech-support specialist an issue or teaching someone how to properly use a program, you can turn to download camstudio, the most inexpensive alternative since it is FREE!
Camstudio 2.0 uses a AVI format, but can also convert movies to FLASH (SWF) files free of charge. Camstudio is a real all-in-one stop, giving you, the user, flexibility. It lets you choose from a various number of codes and offers an auto-adjust setting for the frame rate. With a simple slide of the mouse you are able to select the on-screen region you wish to capture or even capture your entire screen.
CamStudio also offers a great sound recording with interleave capability, and a clever auto-pan feature which allows your video recording follow your mouse cursor.
I highly recommend Camstudio to anyone who is looking for a solid, flexible and easy to use on-screen video and audio recorder.
