It took me almost 2 months to find a Screen Recorder that didn't suck.

HyperCam, CamStudio, Camtasia and every other screen recorder you can imaging give me trouble.

EXCEPT

BB Flashback.

My favorite is by far Camtasia Studio 7, it has a 30- day free trial. But the best free screen recording software in my opinion is CamStudio.

It is probably because you used Movie Maker. It might be easy to use but it rapes the video quality.

EDIT: If you are still looking for a screen capture tool you could try using Jing. (It is free) http://www.jingproject.com/

I guess you could try Avidmux to see if the output is better quality than using the windows movie maker. Avidmux is free too, but it might be a little confusing at first.

From my use of it (recording Chris Pirillo Videos and Bloopers) I use Snagit. Also Camtasia is a great tool to have (from the makers of snagit). I know that Jing is also a great free tool that are from the makers of both snagit and camtasia.

0	camtasia studio 7 or for mac screenflow works those are the best in my opinion answered Aug 10 '10 at 23:37 techtalk 1●1●2●5

0	I use DemoCreator as an alternative of Camtasia. I rarely make screencast video so the program which is simpler, cheaper and has enough features is enough for me. If you wan to record sound, Audacity will be a great choice. answered Aug 11 '10 at 02:44 Nathan 1

0	If you need something that doesn't take a lot of CPU I would recommend Bandicam it's free with a watermark in the video or you can pay $29.95 I think for it and it works great answered Jun 26 '12 at 01:07 brandonj 121●64●69●76
