ScreenCapture

ScreenCapture is a small software application whose purpose is to help you record the activity of your screen to a video file and take screenshots of the desktop. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Java platform installed on the target computer.

It is easy to work with ScreenCapture because it’s portable. You may opt for keeping it stored on pen drives or other portable devices and take it with you everywhere. Plus, you can open it straight from the storage device and without having to possess administrative privileges.

You do not have to follow the preset steps included in an installation process because you may gain access to the GUI by running the executable file. It does not create remnants in your Windows registry and generate other setup files on the host PC so you may get rid of it with a simple deletion task.

ScreenCapture sports a user-friendly and clutter-free working environment. It embeds only a few configuration settings. You cannot read more about the configuration process in a help manual, but you can get an idea about how to tweak the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time.

You can also find the utility in the system tray and gain access to its feature by right-clicking on its icon. The application offers you the possibility to record the entire screen to a video file and preview the video streams directly in the main window.

What’s more, you allowed to take snapshots of the screen which can be saved as images, make use of preset hotkeys (they cannot be reassigned), as well as start, stop, or pause the current video recording process. ScreenCapture eats up CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer may be affected.

To sum things up, ScreenCapture provides nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you capture the activity of your screen to a video or image file, and is suitable especially for rookies.
