    It’s the best free screen recording software now, comparable to TechSmith Camtasia.

    I just recently tried Camstudio, and was absolutely terribly disappointed!! Hard to understand what you needed to do, and after several attempts to record a screencapture, gave up and uninstalled. I’m definitely going to try these others though!

    ActivePresenter rocks!

    DO NOT GET CamStudio. It has about 500 bugs that will infiltrate your computer. Stay away!!!!

    camstudio is easy to use but gives you pretty ugly output. you may try with its lossless codec to get some better, not so great output though.

    jing can only save videos in .swf format, which is not very convenient.

  • Bob April 25, 2014, 7:44 am

    Camstudio ia such crap. So many virus’s :((

  • Dipie May 15, 2014, 7:54 pm

    Jing is my favorite, however, it needs money to record long video and save images on my computer. So I choose Apowersoft screen recorder. It also have free and pro version. but free version doesn’t have any limits. Awesome!

    Take CamStudio the hell of this list, that crap is loaded with extra porgrams / malware that are NOT optional. The whole thing is a disgrace.
