River Past Screen Recorder

As you may find out by reading its name, River Past Screen Recorder is a handy piece of software that can record screen activity and save it as AVI on the local disk.

Setting up the program is quite an easy task, mostly thanks to a straightforward approach that groups the most important configuration options right in the main window.

River Past Screen Recorder can record the full screen, a specific window that needs to be defined by the user, a rectangle region or just a certain area on the screen, again defined by the user.

While it's also capable of capturing the cursor and recording the audio, River Past Screen Recorder lets users configure the audio device and volume from the same main window that also boasts options concerning the video and audio compressors.

What's more, River Past Screen Recorder comes with hotkey support, so it's easy to control a recording without even opening the main window of the program. Still, if you intend to use hotkeys there is a dedicated “Wait for hotkey” button in the main window which needs to be pressed before sending a key command.

River Past Screen Recorder does record screen activity, but we've noticed minor computer slowdowns during our testing, regardless of the operating system. On the other hand, it runs okay on all Windows versions, including XP and 7.

All things considered, River Past Screen Recorder is just another screen recorder that provides all configuration options right in the main window and comes with hotkey support. Easy to use and reliable, River Past Screen Recorder saves the recorded activity in the AVI format exclusively.
