Easy Video Capture 1.8

The first thing you need to know about this application is what it can do for you. The functionality Easy Video Capture provides is pretty much obvious from its name, but just in case it is not, I am going to spell it out for you: with Easy Video Capture you can make a recording of whatever is currently displayed on your desktop.

Easy Video Capture is a screen recording program that will capture in real-time whatever is displayed on your monitor. The screen recordings are saved by the application as AVI files. You can share these AVI files with others – which is useful if you want to come up with a tutorial for example.

Using Easy Video Capture is a fairly straightforward process that should not pose a problem to any user, not even the novice computer user. After all, the application’s interface is quite easy to figure out – and it is the interface that you use to access the functionality Easy Video Capture provides. More advanced users will appreciate that they can use hot keys to perform certain recording functions.

Before you rush off to get Easy Video Capture, take the time to glance over these technical details:
Download – the download weighs in at 0.5MB. At such a lightweight download size, the download will take very little time to complete, even if you are on a less than spectacular internet connection.
Installation – installing the application is a simple process that goes along smoothly and rapidly. The application should work just fine with any version of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system.
Limitations – by using the trial version of Easy Video Capture you will have to put up with these limitations: a watermark will be added on the recorded vide; you cannot annotate your clips with captions.
