Very useful applications! Maybe I should show these to a few friends who think downloading some stupid thing like this that is hard to use is amazing. Hah, I’ll show them.

good collection. The reason I don’t use free screen recording software is that none of them offer video editing feature which is also very limited in Windows movie maker. I use DemoCreator for PC and ScreenFlow for MAC. both of them are great. Hope there will be some freeware which offer editing features.

I totally agree, there is many different softwares out there that include awesome features for a price. I just wanted to let people know about all the free software.

I like those and I personally use Jing for my video screen casts that I publish on my blog under the topic of WordPress quick tips,

It’s a nice and easy to use software, the only drawback is that the free version has a time limit of 5 min for recording.

Great list freeware screen capture!

I used to use Screenpresso, Totally Free for Windows. Flexible, easy to use and comes with basic image editing e.g drop shadow, numbering, arrows, cropping. I think it’s ideal to make tutorial on windows screen.

Hi
I use cam studio at the moment but I am not really pleased with the quality. Out of your list, witch one has the highest video quality?

Great collection of great free tools here.

I wish you would add the basic features of each inside the post so we could compare right here.

For example, how long can the video recording be with each of these free applications?

In my opinion, the best screen recording software out there is Microsoft Expression Encoder 4. It is free and allows, audio, microphone and screen input. It also provides avi mpeg and other outputs. You can even edit video on it!! What could be better?
