Screen Recording Software to capture Software Defects [closed]

Question

do you know a good screen recording software, to assist the quality management process? I think, that the following features will be important:

• easy to use.
• auto capturing the last 5 or 10 Minutes
• small video size
• low price :-)

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

Snagit good for screenshots, Techsmith Camtasia more screencast oriented or a free Techsmith version which is Techsmith Jing http://www.techsmith.com/jing/ which is pretty clean.

Answer 2

BlueBerry FlashBack is pretty much spot on. Just found it today. Express edition does it, and that's free. Set it to record continuously, and keep the last x minutes, or by filesize. 2 minutes resulted in just a hair under 3MB file (compressed in BB's proprietary format), and was just under 30MB memory; doing 6 minutes now and it's around 37-38MB, don't know file size yet. Mostly hovering ~11% of processor power, spiking occasionally to 18 or 22.

Very good finding. I really like that it can record the screen, a video source (like my webcam) and audio simultaneously and you can cut and create a custom render later on to AVI. – Moorhead

saves videos as flr :( – Churchly

As of 2016, free version saves to AVI and SWF. The free version seems very powerful. For video editing and annotations, you need the commercial versions. – Built
