"The best software for records screen in video."

April 2, 2012  |   By capitanflorius

Version: BB FlashBack Express Free Edition 3.2.3.2190

Pros

I have tried different software to record everything that happens on the screen with the mouse pointer or not yet included.
This is by far the best.
It need register ourselwes, but registration is free and all the program is free and works great.
This program also allows conversion to AVI and Flash (for free) while the paid version adds various other formats conversion.
The sound and voice are perfectly synchronized with the video.

It downloads the video in a folder in documents and at the end there is the option of reviewing all directly from the program and also to transform the result in two formats sayed above.

Cons

No cons at this time.

Summary

I recommend strongly this program to all users who need it.
VERY GOOD, NO SPYWERE.

"Wow! Best of them all"

January 16, 2012  |   By spacegiant

Version: BB FlashBack Express Free Edition 3.2.2.2096

Pros

Great AV quality with no copyright, logos or watermarks. Free. No malware

Cons

Easy but not intuitive; small learning curve. Did not install desktop icon after I made SURE to check the box.

Summary

Basically I want to screen capture video with sound, save, and edit with other software. Upon running the first time, it asked me to register; I got the impression that the free version is actually a 30 day trial. ???
BBFExpress seems to have little editing capability besides cropping and a very cool option to disappear the cursor. The default record/playback is at 8fps but is easily changed to 30fps or whatever.
The software downloads from the UK and projects have a .fbr extension(?)... but you can export as flv or avi (more options in pay versions). It took several minutes to export a 90 second video as flv.
Exported videos have a very small amount of pixelation, but overall the picture and sound quality is extremely good. Colors are true and sound is in sync. Light years superior to any of the 8 or 10 similar free software I've tried.

"Awesome program, better than all the others I've tried."

December 6, 2011  |   By JesusFreak96

Version: BB FlashBack Express Free Edition 3.0.3.2035

Pros

This program works fast and is light on the CPU. But most importantly it does what it says it will do with bugs. It captures my screen and microphone perfectly with no problems. Other programs have failed and frustrated me with their bugs, but this one is great so far. By the way the quality of the video is amazing also.

Cons

none that I can see so far

Summary

I've tried Cam studio, Free Screen to Video, Microsoft Expression encoder, and more. And they all have major bugs that make me record my screen tutorials again and again, ANNOYING. But this program worked flawlessly right out of the gate and has amazing quality results.

Easily records and plays back video.

Although listed as available services, the software does not upload to YouTube (the software freezes) and does not convert to a single file flash video (even when the option is selected).

Pros

it's free!

Cons

a copyright tag is displayed, but it is small. videos can't be edited.

since it's free go for it. if you don't like the tag, pay a fee to remove it. others cost more and not as good.

"Best price (FREE forever), awesome recording"

November 19, 2011  |   By samo_cnet

Version: BB FlashBack Express Free Edition 3.0.3.2035

Pros

Awesome recording (same as its pricier siblings)

Cons

No markers/text/etc to be added to your crystal clear videocaptures? Then there's no cons!

Summary

The only difference between the BB FlashB Express (FREE forever) and the Standard one is that you can not add markers/text/etc to your crystal clear videocaptures. The rest is the same as written here http://download.cnet.com/BB-FlashBack-Standard-Edition/3000-13633_4-10913017.html?tag=dropDownForm;productListing#rateit#ixzz1eAQqlqYU by CNET Editors.

BB FlashBack is an incredibly easy-to-use program that allows you to create video recordings of on-screen activities. The program's cool features and intuitive design make it a great choice for presentations, tutorials, and more.

The program's interface is quite well-designed, and getting started with the recording features is easy. A small (but optional) toolbar appears next to the your system tray, with buttons for Record, Stop, and Play, as well as access to a more detailed menu. When you're ready to record, just click the button, and a brief wizard appears that allows you to customize settings for display, sound, Webcam, and more. You can have the program record the full screen, a particular region of the screen, or just one window. We thought it was especially cool that you can run the Webcam at the same time you're recording in full-screen mode; the Webcam recording then appears inset within the full-screen view and can be moved and resized as needed. Anyone who finds themselves using the same settings over and over again can make use of the Quick Record feature, which remembers the settings from the previous recording session.
