Question

I need to record a demo of our application. Can anyone recommend a good screen recorder?

I have tried CamStudio, but it's throwing errors. Any other good free software I should try?

Answer 1

Static screen shots? Maybe Wink will work for you as well:

Answer 2

Have you looked at Jing?

Answer 3

You can do it with ScreenToaster without installing any software (kind of).

Otherwise if you prefer a traditional application Jing and Screen2EXE are both free.

Answer 4

Wink is freeware. From their homepage:

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective tutorial for your users.

Answer 5

try UVScreenCamera, i think it's normal

Answer 6

Cropper's good for screenshots, but not video.

Answer 7

Fraps.

Answer 8

Camtasia studio does a great job.
In the case the app is cross-platform (java, web-based) you can ask a pal with a Mac to use Screenium, Snapz Pro or ScreenFlow.

Answer 9

Comparing the performence and price, I think DemoCreator is excellent one for makeing application demos.

Answer 10

There are lots of screen recording tools around, both free and professional ones, but I haven’t seen anything like ScreenToaster before. It's very nice applications for screen recording.
