Regardless of the merits or otherwise of today's giveaway, it needs to be noted that this Brazilian developer -- PCWinSoft Systems -- is a customer of The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software (Tucows) whose "5 star rating" (actually, 5 cows) it makes great play of on the 1AVCentre product website.

Tucows long since eased back on its former role of offering downloads of freeware and shareware. Today the bulk of its profits derive from being one of the world's biggest players in domain name registration and trading. A number of software companies are Tucows' clients.

In fairness to prospective customers, PCWinsoft should not be promoting its software on the basis of an "award" that far from being impartial is actually from another company with whom it is in a commercial relationship.

Couple the question mark that arises over this developer's behaviour with the downright over-the-top $99 re-install price for its collection of apps and thanks, GOATD, but no thanks.

To the developer. This may be a really great program,the best thing since sliced bread, something I can't do without : But after visiting your web site reading the very brief description and watching the videos, I have no idea. You need to realise there is huge difference between telling me what it is and why I need it as opposed to screen captures of opening screens and options and so on. I'm guessing as a media server I might be able to access my videos at home from a hotel room? but you haven't told me. Likewise it may be good for podcasts? What do I gain by file sharing this way? etc etc. Videos of it actually preforming tasks would be much more useful and informative.

Installed and registered without any difficulty, opened up to a perplexing interface.

Had some difficulty in setting up my WebCam, kept reverting back to default settings.
An interesting aspect was when I attempted to change the frame rate; the up arrow decreased the frame rate and the down arrow increased it, strange!

When I did get it working it recorded video but was not too impressed with the quality.

Once you have developed a program to make another one you copy it, in essence no cost, but from the prices they charge you would think it was like building a car where everything has to be made again.

A program that is way, way overpriced as are most today; for the price of today's download and yesterday's you could buy a really decent refurbished desktop computer.

Not a program I will be using regularly because it is an unpleasant program to use and I don't have much use for many of its functions.

1-AV-Centre software is by a Brazilian software developer.
Guess they have their own style of programming.
It seems 1-AV-Centre is not ready for prime time and there is room for improvement.
If you want to pay for such genre of software, then the one to beat is Camtasia. (high budget)
If you want to pay a little bit, buy Snagit (mid-price budget)
If you do not want to pay, there are portable freeware such as CamStudio. (zero cost)
