This program is desrribed as "ScreenCamera is a desktop video recorder and a virtual webcam at a time. It is perfect tool for recording narrated tutorials, videos inside web browsers, sharing"

Yet having downloaded and installed it the help Q & A file says
"Q:Can I capture videos with SnapMyScreen?
A:No. SnapMyScreen does not currently support this feature."

Whats going one???

This particular developer's offerings via GAOTD have, in my own experience, always been bedevilled with faulty registration processes or mis-performing software. I suffered both, the last time I tried anything from PC-Winsoft -- that last instance just happening to be an earlier version of today's giveaway: hours wasted on registration, then repeated failures in the software's performance.

I was going to give Screen Camera 3.1.1 a whirl (and the developer, the benefit of the doubt) because PC-Winsoft makes it abundantly clear on this page that "ScreenCamera is a desktop video recorder and a virtual webcam at a time. It is perfect tool for recording narrated tutorials".

But then as Mike says at post #5, a desktop video recorder it appears not to be. His confusion -- nor mine -- isn't helped by PC-Winsoft's user manual for this software:

http://www.pcwinsoft.com/ScreenCamera/user_guide/index.asp

where the reference is very obviously on simultaneous recording and broadcasting rather than separate recording: after all, you can "broadcast" what you wish, when you wish, where you wish.

Thanks, then, GAOTD, but no thanks: this is a composite commercial software which the developer seems unwilling or unable to explain or justify. The re-install price of $50 is downright ludicrous when the long-established freeware Jing not only seems to do the same thing but its developer takes the trouble to explain that far more cogently:

As for recording: many, many GAOTDers will have the excellent freeware VLCas one of their media players, so the fact that VLC can act as a video screen recorder may be of interest to them:

whilst this one is an excellent, free, standalone screen recorder:

WARNING: GAOTDERs may on ay Internet search encounter the highly regarded freeware CamStudio recorder offering. Please AVOID as downloaded executables have been infected with malware and the situation still hasn't been sorted out.

No use for the webcam features of ScreenCamera.Net.
As to the screen recording, Bandicam would be more welcome as a Giveaway.
Still waiting for the repeat of the giveaway of Bandicam on 10 May 2011.

Bandicam is by far the best capture program I have tested; compared today's download with it and it was in a totally different league, not only that but it is cheaper.
If you want to test it there is a free version, watermarks and time limitations, that will give you an idea of just how good it is compared with anything else. Link: -

Four years? Perhaps you could just buy it.
