Fast Desktop Recorder

Fast Desktop Recorder is a simple to use software which allows you to capture the desktop activity and save it as an AVI file. The software allows you to record the activity in fullscreen mode or just in a custom selected area. You may easily select the desired area, by manually drawing a rectangle frame.

Fast Desktop Recorder features a straight-forward interface which enables you to easily select one of the available recording modes: fullscreen or area. The selected option is marked by a red border. If you choose the fullscreen option, you may start the recording immediately, however, if you pick the specific area option, you need to define it first.

Simply drag the corner of the rectangle until the frame fits the size and position you wish. The details of this area are displayed in the information window, which can be shown or hidden, according to your preferences. It indicates the size of the frame and its position on the desktop, as well as the encoding method, movie duration, frame per second and the number of captured frames.

Depending on the codec you choose for the recording, the image quality can be higher or lower and the capturing process can be more or less effective. For instance, the Information window displays the number of frames which are included in the video, as well as those that failed to be captured.

You may manually set the video quality, which influences its size, frame rate or preset duration. Moreover, you can set its priority, to other system processes, which directly affects the amount of resources dedicated to it. You may choose to minimize the software’s interface once the recording starts.

Whether you play a photo slideshow, operate a complex program or you simply wish to exemplify your work at the computer, Fast Desktop Recorder can capture your desktop activity and save it as an AVI file. While the software allows you to customize a series of parameters, it does not allow you to change the output format.
