TOP 5 FREE Screen Capturing Softwares

film-reel As you know an Image is more worthy than a thousand words. Then what will be the video worth of? Simple! Multiplies by the number of frames in a video :D. Okay this is going quite mathematical so we will not go into the deep, rather what I am going to show you is the list of 5 best of the best video capturing softwares.

Video capturing software is useful in many ways. Suppose, you and your overseas friend are chatting, suddenly he gets a problem in his PC and you have to help him. What would be the more convenient option?

1-Briefing him through text in instant messenger? Boo

2-Over phone call? Then wait for the bill mate

3-Via screenshots? naaa :S

4-With a brief video tutorial explaining every thing as if you both were in the same room? Yay!

So as you have seen, the most convenient method of explaining anything is video. No doubt that’s why online video sites like Youtube are that much popular.

That’s just one example, the list is long, so we should skip the benefits and carry on towards the list:

1-Cam Studio

CamStudio is a good video capturing tool to create video screencasts of lossless quality. The video output will be of AVI format, however, you can shrink its size by converting it to SWF without compromise in quality. And further more, you can: choose whether to record a section or the whole screen, increase or decrease quality of the recorded video etc.

2-Jing Project

Another excellent program from TechSmith which quickly became famous like their previous products {Snagit and Camtasia}. What makes Jing Project stand out from the crowd is the sharing facilities it got. See the video rather than reading my explanation.

3-Debut

Another one in the line, is the Debut Video Recording Software. It does more or less the same things as above tools, but its specialty lies in a range of formats it can provide the output in, including 3GP, AVI, ASF, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPG, WMV etc. A detailed review of this awesome tool can be found here.

4-TipCam

In addition to record what is going on the screen, TipCam has also some unique features. It can trim the unwanted and no-no slides from the video and adjust the narration to get in sync with the video. Meaning, if you want to record a video separately, then want to attach audio file separately, TipCam does it for you.

5-Free Video Capture Factory

The last one is the software from Small Video Soft named Freez Screen Video Capture. You can start, pause and stop recording with shortcut keys. It also supports different output codecs (like Microsoft Video 1, MPEG-4, DivX etc.). Some other video related freeware are also available at the websites’ home page.
