'GiliSoft Screen Recorder' is undoubtedly a compact and powerful program. It records entire screen , specific window or fixed region with reasonable file sizes saved as FLV files with audio . Also can capture frames which are automatically saved to PNG format.
While Hotkeys ( remappable ) are available for starting and stopping the recording the video files can be set to split automatically by time or size. Video properties can be adjusted in terms of scale, frames per second, and bit rate.

The best part is it can capture or record game play smoothly.

Thumbs up.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A clean install.

A (Chinese) company without name&address. The EXE digitally signed as Hengyida Information Technology CO.,LTD. with an email from Yahoo.com.
Some video and audio codecs from 2012.

After start a small not resizable window opens, in the language settings you can switch between English and Chinese, in the settings you define the video, audio and video parameters, you can define a cursor behavior and print a watermark.

I made a short screen video within a defined area. It works simple and produced a result without problems, I played with the video folder and showing a part of my first test screen capture.

Here is the FLV file. It is a small 4 MB file on a new (to me...) filehoster.

This is a little tool for screen recording. Does what it claims, no tool for taking screenshots or producing more complex learning videos.
Does what it claims in a simple manner.

Uninstalled via reboot. Don't need it.

Installed and registered without any problems, opens up to a very simple interface.

Tested with default settings, highest quality, FLV format, 24 frames per second and custom size of capture of 840 x 480 pixels, capturing audio using computer sound.
The quality of the video and the audio was absolutely superb and was extremely easy to accomplish.
The size of the capture was just short of 1 MB per second making it a large file well worth it because of the quality.

Couldn't be more pleased with the download most definitely a keeper because of the really amazing quality of both the video and the audio, the audio is something other capture programs were having great difficulty obtaining.

Screen capture software (if you really are a power user) is like loyalty to your loved one and you won't change to another. For my workflow it's not doing the job and I keep sticking to Fraps and Microsoft Expression Encoder.

Microsoft Expression Encoder (Free, but grab a copy soon because as I read between the lines that thing is going to be downed for good) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18974

cheers a lot
