Hello.

It is better to see once than hear a hundred times.

This is exactly what the popular saying goes, and perhaps it is correct. Have you ever tried to explain to a person how to perform certain actions on a PC, without using videos (or pictures)? If you just explain on the "fingers" what and where to press - 1 person out of 100 will understand you!

It's a completely different matter when you can record on video what is happening on your screen and show it to others - so you can explain what and how to press, as well as brag about your work or play skills.

In this article, I want to focus on the best (in my opinion) programs for recording video from the screen (with sound). So...

A very, very interesting program for creating screenshots and videos from your computer screen. Despite its small size, the program has quite significant advantages:

• when recording, a very small video size is obtained at high quality (by default, it presses in the WMV format);
• there are no extraneous inscriptions and other debris on the video, the image is not blurry, the cursor is highlighted;
• supports video in 1440p format;
• supports video recording with sound from a microphone, from sound in Windows, or simultaneously from both sources at once;
• starting video recording is as easy as shelling pears, the program does not "torment" you with a mountain of messages about certain settings, warnings, etc .;
• takes up very little space on your hard drive, and there is also a portable version;
• supports all new Windows versions: XP, 7, 8, 10.

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best programs for recording video: compact, does not load the PC, the video is of high quality (with sound). What else is needed!?

Start the start of recording from the screen (everything is simple and visual)!

Ashampoo - the company is famous for its software, main feature which is focused on the novice user. Those. dealing with programs from Ashampoo is quite simple and easy. Ashampoo Snap is no exception to this rule.

Key features:

• the ability to create collages from several screenshots;
• video capture with and without sound;
• instant capture of all visible windows on the desktop;
• support for Windows 7, 8, 10, capture a new interface;
• the ability to use the color dropper to capture colors from various applications;
• full support for 32-bit images with transparency (RGBA);
• the ability to capture by timer;
• automatic addition of watermarks.

In general, this program (in addition to the main task within which I added it to this article) has dozens of very interesting features that will help you not only make a recording, but also bring it to a high-quality video that you are not ashamed to show to other users.

An excellent program for quickly and efficiently creating demonstration training videos and presentations from the PC screen. Allows you to export video in many formats: SWF, AVI, UVF, EXE, FLV (including GIF-animation with sound).

Can record everything that happens on the screen, including mouse cursor movements, mouse clicks, keyboard presses. If you save a movie in UVF ("native" for the program) and EXE format, you get a very compact size (for example, a 3-minute movie with a resolution of 1024x768x32 takes 294 KB).

Disadvantages: sometimes the sound may not be recorded, especially in free version programs. Apparently, the program does not recognize external sound cards(this does not happen with internal ones).

Best program for recording video and creating screenshots from games (I emphasize, from games. You cannot simply record a desktop with it)!

Its main advantages:

• the program has a built-in codec that allows you to record video from the game even on a weak PC (although the video size is large, but nothing slows down or freezes);
• the ability to record sound (see screenshot below "Sound Capture Settings");
• the ability to choose the number of frames for recording;
• recording video and screenshots by pressing hot keys;
• the ability to hide the cursor while recording;
• free.

In general, for a gamer - the program is simply irreplaceable. The only drawback: to write great video, it takes a lot free space on your hard drive. Also, later, this video will need to be compressed or edited to "move" it into a more compact size.

A simple and free (but at the same time effective) program for recording what is happening from the PC screen to files: AVI, MP4 or SWF (flash). Most often, it is used when creating video courses and video presentations.

Main advantages:

• Codec support: Radius Cinepak, Intel IYUV, Microsoft Video 1, Lagarith, H.264, Xvid, MPEG-4, FFDshow;
• Capture not only the entire screen, but also a separate part of it;
• Ability to annotate;
• The ability to record sound from a PC microphone and speakers.

Disadvantages:

• Some antiviruses find the file suspicious if written in this program;
• There is no support for the Russian language (at least, the official one).

6. Camtasia Studio

One of the most famous programs for recording video from a PC screen. The program implements dozens of various options and capabilities:

• support for many video formats, the resulting video can be exported to: AVI, SWF, FLV, MOV, WMV, RM, GIF, CAMV;
• the ability to prepare video presentations with high quality video (1440p);
• on the basis of any video, you can get an EXE file with a built-in player (useful to open such a video on a PC where there is no such utility);
• can apply a number of effects, can edit individual frames.

Camtasia Studio.

Of the shortcomings, I would highlight the following:

• the program is paid (some versions insert captions into the resulting video until you buy the software);
• Sometimes it is difficult to adjust so as to avoid the appearance of blurry letters (especially with high quality video);
• you have to "suffer" with the video compression settings in order to achieve the optimal file size at the output.

Generally speaking, the program is not bad at all and it is not in vain that it is the leader in its market segment. Despite the fact that I criticized her and do not really support her (due to my rare work with video), I definitely recommend it for acquaintance, especially for those who want to professionally create videos (presentations, podcasts, training, etc.).

7. Free Screen Video Recorder

The program is executed in the style of minimalism. At the same time, it is a powerful enough program for capturing the screen (everything that happens on it) in AVI format, and images in formats: BMP, JPEG, GIF, TGA or PNG.

One of the main advantages of the program is that it is free (while other similar programs are shareware and will require a purchase after a certain time).

Free Screen Video Recorder - program window (there is nothing superfluous here!).

Of the shortcomings, I would single out one thing: when recording a video in a game, most likely you will not see it - there will be just a black screen (albeit with sound). For recording games, it is better to choose Fraps (see about it a little higher in the article).

8. Total Screen Recorder

Quite not a bad utility for recording an image from the screen (or a separate part of it). Allows you to save video in formats: AVI, WMV, SWF, FLV, supports audio recording (microphone + speakers), mouse cursor movements.

HyperCam - program window.

Not a bad utility for recording video and audio from a PC to files: AVI, WMV / ASF. You can also record the actions of the entire screen or a specific selected area.

The resulting files can be easily edited with the built-in editor. After editing, videos can be uploaded to Youtube (or other popular video sharing resources).

By the way, the program can be installed on a USB stick and used on different PCs. For example, they came to visit a friend, inserted a USB flash drive into his PC and recorded his actions from his screen. Mega-Convenient!

HyperCam options (there are quite a few of them, by the way).

10.oCam Screen Recorder

There are many voice writing programs available. There are both paid ones - for serious work with sound, and simple free ones for home use. Almost all applications have no restrictions on the recording duration and have different additional settings sound, mixers and sound effects that will make audio recording better and better. However, you need to understand that without a more or less high-quality microphone, no program will help you make an audio recording. good quality... You can also choose the audio file format, which is a definite plus, since ".wav" is no different high quality... Among a large number similar applications, you should pay attention to the following:

• Sony Sound Forge;
• WaveLab;
