I'm all for developers coming out with new products and earning a living, but this was not well thought-out at all. As usual, if you're going into a crowded market, you have to have something to offer. First, the name. To an English speaker, "Kahlown" looks like it's pronounced "clown". Not a good start. One must always be aware of language differences. As noted, the installer has obvious errors, it may have been rushed for GOTD. One should always allow for modification time if you have to do something special for an event like a GOTD debut.

The biggest problem is that there's very little here. You're going up against the excellent FastStone Capture ($20) which has a couple of high-quality screen-capture codecs, numerous features, simulated mouse clicks (audio), vastly superior screen recording features, etc. There's the Ashampoo screen capture stuff which we were given recently, the upgrade to the better version with screen recording is like $6. There's the excellent free version of Microsoft Expression Encoder SP1.

Kahlown has numerous issues. The codecs can't synchronize the mouse with screen actions at all. Adding audio resulted in corrupted files.

#5, Sandra, for your own use there's the excellent TimeSnapper Pro ($25). There's a freeware version but it's nothing compared to the full version. For monitoring children, newer versions of Windows and Internet Explorer have Parental Controls. You can buy spyware/monitoring software, but your should always tell your children that they are being monitored. There are various other programs for parents to control Internet access.

#7, Rick Frog, this program has a UI as shown in the screenshots at the top of this page. It sounds like you damaged the installation.

Since no one reads comments which are held in moderation until late, my comment #55 for NeoDownloader addresses a number of issues which people here on GOTD bring up all the time.

As for people getting upset about my defending myself the other day, if the moderators wouldn't allow people to post personal attacks against me then I wouldn't respond. They certainly don't hesitate to delete my posts for any/no reason at all.

Please visit following link to download missing codecs. Not all codecs are installed by default.

The software looks ok, thank you GOTD. However, after recording screen once, using XVid codec, I'm unable to do it again, it says that Xvid is not installed... Don't know... Possibly need to install some other codec, but first time it worked...

The setup process is bit messy - need to unzip file, then extract the installer, and then we can see 4 installers (looks like duplicated).

#8 obviously is NOT a parent. Let's hope it stays that way.
I did download this program and installed it.. This software should be in beta and not full release. Not yet anyway.
