CamStudio

CamStudio records screen activity from your Windows Desktop into standard AVI movie files. It is an ideal tool for developing videos to demonstrate features of a new software or any other task that requires the capture of desktop activity.

The program is easy to use, and you can select an area or full desktop for recording. You can adjust the video quality settings to reduce file size, use custom cursors and add a soundtrack through your microphone or speakers.

Furthermore, you can add screen captions to your desktop while recording. These captions are anti-aliased, high quality images that support text display in multiple languages.

With the Video Annotation feature, you can also personalize your movie by including a webcam movie of yourself into the AVI.

• Release Date: Oct 28, 2010
• Download(s):
  CamStudio_Setup_v2.6b_r294_(build_24Oct2010).exe
• Huge step in release number sequence. Caused because many new nice features can be expected soon.
  
  Nice things like zooming, showing key combinations pressed and/or left,middle and right mouse identification on screen.
• This release contains only a few small fixes.
  • Region 'Window' and'Select Screen' in case of multiple screens now calculate the pixels correct either.
  • Temporally and final files are now created in the directory you have specified in "Directory for recording"
  • Log file ....xnote.txt is renamed to ....txt and shows now besides xnote information also the version and release number of the executable.
  • Inside the code 'Playerplus.exe' is now invoked instead of 'Playplus.exe'. So it will startup. (My personal opinion; Don't use it at all. On can better use player.exe or use local player.)
