Today's giveaway is just an ordinary screen recording tool with very basic features and nothing more.... no editing features and no MP4 as a video output....this says it all!!

27 bucks?? Come on man.... maybe on Mars...LOL!!

So it could be a good solution for NOOBS only, namely for people who never captured a video in their entire life.

Overall, for what it does, charging 27 bucks for a basic app like this is sheer madness, but many (GAOTD) developers out there behave as if they were living in another world!!

If you are instead eager to automatically download both AUDIO & VIDEO STREAMING files literally from thousands of different websites and web radio stations for FREE, and then convert them to various formats with the ability to even add subtitles on them, then look no further and install a magic FREE tool called "VSO Downloader".
As you can see from the link below, it supports all web browsers, multi-protocol, VPN & Proxies out there, as well as pretty much all formats (FLV, MP4, WMV, ASF, MP3, SWF etc...) and HD video streaming, not to mention that it can even detect ADS preventing them from being downloaded. It silently works in the background via the tray icon, enabling users to download multiple files simultaneously at high speed with the integrated download accelerator module.
With this FREE tool you can also apply advanced filters, such as those meant to select which files should be detected or ignored, as well as pause and then resume one or all audio & video streaming downloads. No bad for being a FREEWARE, isn't it?

Pros
*Record screen and save as WMV/AVI/MPEG/FLV
*Select window or use freehand rectangle tool to set capture area
*Can record audio

Cons
*I could not get the record audio feature to work. I'm not sure if the program is buggy or if I'm doing it wrong.
*No countdown when starting a new recording
*Can't highlight mouse cursor or clicks
*Has no editing features. I’m not asking for advanced editing features but would like something like trim to help cut out unintended capture at start/end of videos.
*How about support for more output video formats, like MP4?

Installed fine on Windows 7 64bit though it took a while for it to configure the C++ redistributable. I tried this out on my web browser (Chrome) and the quality was surprisingly good - very clear imagery and the tracking is very good as it can track my mouse movements on high DPI settings far better than other capturing software I have tried. The recording framerate is also adjustable from 23.979 (standard film) to 60p or 60 fps).

There was one major issue though. When I attempted to record the desktop, the end video appeared slanted at a 45 degree angle and I have no way to rectify this issue. I tried it a number of times and when I tried to record a smaller window not only was it slanted, but in black and white as well.

Giovanni recommends dscaler4 to calibrate your video capture card to create a high quality video output. How can he recommend this to us? Before installing it, it issues a list of severe warnings printed in red lettering, that your hardware can be permanently damaged if the wrong choices are made; that it is prone to crashing under certain circumstances; and that the program has major issues that have yet to be fixed.

C’mon Giovanni, what are you trying to do to us?

This software will not be able to record games if anyone is looking into it for that. You can make it record windowed games but it will record at about 1FPS. I got PlayClaw4 from here but for some reason it randomly expired a short time ago, but it was able to record more powerful applications. This software is good if you want to record yourself doing something on the computer. I wouldn't recommend this for videos, games, 3D applications, etc. It can't handle them.
