Free Video Capture Software? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Anyone know of a good free video capture software? Needs to have no watermark and decent FPS (30+ would be nice). Prefferably with unlimited use and no 30-day trial stuff.

Thanks!

Avid FreeDV.

You can even do limited editing with it.

This requires XP (or a Mac) and a firewire connection to your camera.

I should have been more specific, my apologies.
Screen Video Capturing is what I need, I noticed you mentioned a camera but I'll check this out and see if it does screen capture too.

nope, it won't do that, unless you have an svideo/RCA output on your vidcard, a camera (or deck) with svid/rca in and firewire out, and you route the video through the camera/deck.

Nope

Thanks anyways though =)

What kind of information exactly do you want to capture and/or edit?

screen snapshots - Use the good old "print screen" button on your keyboard. Alt-PrintScreen just captures the active, focused Window in Microsoft Windows. Completely 100% free.

Games - Fraps software does a wonderful job.

SnagIt - records actual Windows, mouse, keyboard, etc in Windows. You could, for example, make a demonstration of you using a certain program like you see on those cool TV infomercials and play it back like a regular movie. Gracious demo period, cheap.

Webcam? - ChillCam, ConquerCam are good solutions. I believe they may be cheap or have a gracious demo period.

Video Editing software - VirtualDub is a good video editing software.. not sure exactly what functions it can perform for you. 100% free.

Here is a good listing of video editing software - http://www.labdv.com/software/editing-en.html

Again, your request was sort of vague to me, so if these don't fit the bill, be more specific about your issue. At any rate, they are listed here for anyone who needs them =)

I think he wants to capture anything moving on his screen as video...I'm not sure though..

It's usually geared towards the gaming world, but it will do screen cap/video cap.
