Free Screen Capture is an easy free screen capture software with an integrated video/audio editor. The user-friendly interface enables you to quickly make screencasts without the hassle of a pro. Although this software is free, it is not ad-free and puts no watermark on your computer. What I like about it is that it can record and save videos in high definition resolutions up to 1080p using simple recording and playback controls.
This is another one of my favorite free screen video recorder software programs for Mac OS X (OS X Mountain Lion). Free Screen Capture has a simple, basic design and includes basic features like recording, editing and sharing. It does not have an infrared scanner which is required to capture live objects like facial features, hands and even reflections. But the software comes with over 40 professionally photograph-like templates for you to choose from when creating your own personal screen casts. You can also import your own files from your camera or flash drive.
This is my favorite screen capture software for Windows. It is simple to use and inexpensive. If you need to make multiple recordings or simply want to share your thoughts with family and friends, this software will work great for you. The interface is clean and uncluttered, so even if you're a novice at computers this software will work for you. In addition to having a screencast video recorder, this software also allows you to upload videos directly to your Windows Live Meeting.
