Video Capture to WMV

Webcams provide an enhanced social experience over the Internet from the comfort of your desktop. Moreover, they can be used to create video tutorials, organize meetings or interviews. Various applications, such as Video Capture to WMV can be used to record webcam activity for personal or professional use or even security measures.

Running the application unveils a pleasant looking interface with all necessary tools at your disposal, as well as a small preview section. Putting the process in motion is as simple as turning your camera on and pressing the “Play” button.

You can change the default WMV profile to custom options, because there is only one available preset. When you think enough is captured, the “Convert” button brings up a browser so that you select the destination where the file is saved.

The application features several tools for you to enhance the recording. A timestamp can be inserted in case the video is required for security purposes. You can make use of two text fields to emphasize any detail the end user needs to know.

Last but not least, an overlay image option is available which provides a quick solution to equip the video with a watermark.

One of the main disadvantages of the application is that while the recording process is in motion, there is nothing to inform you regarding the duration of the video. After a long capturing time you might end up with a result that does not contain important details.

Customization settings applied to the tools mentioned above are found in drop down menus, which makes careful positioning a little difficult.

Video Capture to WMV does a good job at offering a preview of what is going on in front of a web cam. Unfortunately, its difficult interface and options make it a little rough around the edges, cutting out professionalism.
