Screen Video Recorder

Screen Video Recorder is a simple screen video recording tool that makes a video file saving the activity that took place within a selected area of your screen. There are many reasons you may want to record your computer's screen and share the video with others. Sure, you can use a standard camera for this purpose, but this often results in a video that looks unprofessional due to the flicker of the screen and movement of the camera. This software provides you a much better way to record screen activity to create your very own computer video tutorials, share something interesting with friends or help a friend or work colleague perform a certain task in a software program by giving them video instructions.

This video capture program isn't the most advanced that you will find. But the simplicity of Screen Video Recorder will also be a big advantage for some users, as figuring out how to make it work doesn't require much technical skill or reading through instruction manuals. The program is capable of capturing screen activity, mouse cursor movements and video, as well as audio from various sources. The audio capture feature is quite interesting, as it allows you to include audio commentary on the videos you record, or record a short clip of a video that's playing on your PC, including the sound.

Screen Video Recorder lets you select exactly what you want to record, whether it's the full screen image, a specific window or a selected region on your screen. You can choose the resolution of your video, as well as the format that it will be encoded in. This is an area where Screen Video Recorder falls a bit short compared to other tools in its category, as it only supports saving files in AVI and WMV formats, which tend to produce video files that are larger than other formats. There are no video editing features provided either. However, you won't have too much trouble finding a free video converter or editor to do some post-production tasks if you need to.
