C# capture screen to small video files.

Question

Hello guys,

Does someone knows how can I capture my computer screen to a video file? I need the file to be as small as possible. I'm using C#. Third party components also welcome.

TY

Answer 1

I think you are referring to creating a screen cast, if so this is the best I have used.

It can produce many formats including FLV which can be configured to small file size.

Directly capturing video from the desktop in .net does not seem to be a simple task. Here's an article from c-sharpcorner that might help you out:
