Screen2Video ActiveX Control

Screen2Video ActiveX Control is a software utility that enables you to create screen recording applications or functions. The tool can capture both the screen activity, as well as the movement of the mouse or keystrokes.

The tool allows you to capture videos without length limitations and to save them to AVI or WMV format.  Each of the options includes several specific encoding methods which you can use in the video capturing process.  For instance, the WMV format supports two categories of algorithms, namely the default profile and the advanced profile.

The Default profile includes Windows Media Video 9 for Color Pocket, dial-up modems, LAN or for broadband. The Advanced profile allows you to select the suitable option for the preferred video resolution.

If you wish to save the result as AVI, you can opt for video or audio compression algorithms. You may select one of the several available solutions for video compression, such as WMVideo 8/9 encoders, MSScreen, DV Video encoder, MJPEG compressor, Cinepak Codec, Microsoft RLE or Intel IYUV codecs.

The audio compressing options include WM Speech Encoder DMO, IMA, PCM, Microsoft ADPCM, CCITT A-Law or MPEG Layer-3. Other options that you can create with the help of this tool include capturing a custom-sized window.

You can specify the window handle value, as well as the offset, measured in pixels. Moreover, the tool can record the movement of the mouse if you enable the option and allows you to set the frame per second rate, ranging from 1 to 25.

You may set the audio source for your video, by specifying the audio device and input. Before the recording can start, you need to specify the output folder. Screen2Video ActiveX Control can be used with several programming languages that support ActiveX.

Moreover, it includes several samples, built in C# 2010, Delphi, Visual Basic, VB.NET 2010, VBScript, Visual C and Visual FoxPro. They are designed to help you get the development process started.
