Screen Capture

[Aron]

I have used a plethora of various screen capture softwares, and have purchased a plethora of them, yet in the end they always seem to disappoint me, whether it be with a few minor flaws or one major one.

Right now I am using ZD soft screen recorder, and thought it worked quite well recording various scenes from a movie I needed clips from for a review. After putting it together and rendering it the actual video is extremely small compared to the space it should fill (check my channel for the video.)

Soooo guys and gals, any tips on how to get my ZD big and beautiful or are there other screen recorders on the market that will blow mine out of the water, and make me one happy guy.

Thank you for your time,
Aron

I've just always used "Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture". It has flaws, but it's free, so what are you gonna do?

One thing I would suggest is getting you and HD PVR! Its about 200 or so but its so worth it!

I really love Camtasia. It is a great program for screen recording and editing your videos.

Agree, when I record any Video from my PC I always use Camtasia.

I second that, it's much better than something like Fraps because the videos it creates are quicker to upload to YouTube. (But Fraps generally has better quality)

Yes but Camtasia does not record full screen games. And Fraps does not record outside of game.

I agree with you, but to get past the full screen thing I suggest just run the game in windowed mode and then resize the capture window so that it is only showing the game, if you get what I mean?

Yes, you do have a really good point. I used to play League of Legends in Windowless mode (pretty much windowed mode but with out the top bar with minimize close etc).

Haha, thank you. Some games don't allow you to resize their window, do you know how to get past that?
