Video Capture Software

13 replies
I am moving my marketing efforts to include YouTube, however I ran into a problem.

I am using Jing as my video capture software, but it only saves in swf format which movie maker does not support.

Does anyone know a free or inexpensive video capture software I can use in conjunction with microsoft movie maker or other options?


Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    Camtasia is by far the industry standard, but possibly cost prohibitive in your case.

    Another good solution is Snagit, there is a free 30 day trial at the moment.

      Camtasia has a free 30 day trial. Build your videos and as they earn, use that money to pay for camtasia after your trial is over 30 days from now.

    im currently using Microsoft Expression 4 Screen Capture which is pretty good. actually just saw that your files are in .swf format....why not just use a video converter to convert it to a usable format for movie maker?

    try Freemake Video Converter, it works with .swf files. i think this would be a better solution than buying another video capture application. the software is free and super easy to use.

    I think camstudio(not camtasia) is perfect for your needs and best of all it's free

    I use camptasia. It is the best out there. price is high, but its far more better than the low priced products out there.

    Camstudio or bb Flashback are both free and work well.

    I like Easy to use Video Capture Software - Record ANY Video Playing on your PC with Replay Video Capture 5 - it's like $29.95 or so - much cheaper than camtasia and works quite well for 'how to' videos etc
