Why not just download the webinar video files? Would be a lot quicker than doing a screen recording of it as it's playing back.

To record video, I've been using CamStudio for several years now. Does a pretty good job of screen recording along with the audio that I add via a headset.

any screen capture software will do that. Many of the best screen capture software options have free trials too.

But yeah, many times you aren't allowed to legally record live streams like that, though if it's for your own personal use I don't see how anybody would know.

Just do at your own risk.

But yeah, just do a search for any screen capture software to ever record your screen!

Kenster, usually when I record something I'm using the screen capture software to show a Google search result or something else like how to use certain software or something like that.

I agree, you'll get into trouble if you're using it to record a webinar or other type of video. You're better off just contacting the webinar owner and asking them.

Download the FREE version of RealPlayer, and MOST videos including YouTube, Webinars, and of 'other nature' (clears throat) will have a "Download This Video" box that appears in the upper right of the video.

Also, RealPlayer allows you to convert MOST files to your preferred format, and can be viewed on smartphones or the player of your choice. I use RealPlayer for all my music, videos, etc...

I like Camtasia for screencasts, but in this case, RealPlayer would be a good FREE choice for downloading existing videos.

All the Best,

I've done that with Camtasia and it renders well.
Not tried CamStudio, although I heard good things and of course it is free whereas Camtasia is quite pricey.

Just to add another option into the mix, Blueberry Software's BB Flashback Express is another good free one.

If I need to do screen capture I usually use Camstudio and have done so for years, but recently I've found myself using BB Flashback Express more and more. Both are good though and I've never had a need for anything else

You can use Camtasia or AVS Screen Capture to record your screen. Very easy to use as it user friendly.

You can record and watch tv shows so long as they are for your own personal use so I don't see why a webinar recording would be any different. Let's face it, the only person who could take action against you is the person who held the webinar. Most webinars are only concerned with selling you something so why would they really care if you record the webinar... it's only going to make it more likely you purchase their offer. Just don't share the recording with anyone, obviously.

This tool is excellent: Screencast-O-Matic - Free online screen recorder for instant screen capture video sharing.

I use Screen Recorder - Replay Video Capture 5 and it works quite well

Like a few people above have mentioned already, Camtasia 8 is an inexpensive and rather simple way to record your screen...it is simple enough to get up and running right away for a newbie and has lots of "extra" features if you really want to take it up a notch and make things fancy.

Best ways for screen capture, camtasia, easy video suite, snag it, screener, also jing works well for short screen captures

I don't think is a good idea to record it through the computer screen because the resolution of video will become worst and dizzy .
I understand that some seminar and video do need you paid for download it , but if it worth then you should go for it while it can replay as much times as you can and share among your friend and subordinate.

This is the best one as of my knowledge..

TechSmith - Screen Capture and Recording Software

Hi

If what you are "capturing" is a video and not on-screen activity, then it would be better to just use a stream recorder to record the video stream rather than recapture it as it plays. You keep the same video quality too.

You can use something like VSO Downloader or Orbit to save streaming video to your PC. Both are free. VSO has a paid upgrade but the free version would work for your purposes.

They grab the video stream that is being fed to your browser and record it to a file. You can have multiple streaming videos downloading at once. Once the tool grabs the stream, you don't have to stay on the page or keep your browser open.

PS There is also Ant, which is a browser plugin: ant.com

Camstudio is my favorite choice. Then next is Camtasia. There's a software called "Camtasia for internet marketers" that i believe is free online.

if you have a mac i use screenflow it's an amazing software, the quality way better then camtasia and it crashes less. I used camtasia for about 5 years before i switched.

You can use a free trial of Camtasia, Faststone is a good choice and the best deal is to use Screen o matic.
BEst regards

Camtasia is the top choice for me:

Software for screen recording and video editing

It has a trial as well.

Camstudio and Microsoft Expressions are two free screen capture software programs for Windows.

I find that Camstudio can be 'buggy' at times. I love Microsft Expressions, however you can only record 10 minutes per video with the free version.

I don't know if this helps but try screencast-o-matic. That is a free service to record computer screens. Might be something to look into.

Instead of trying to record my videos I always found it easier just to copy the link or the url from whatever the domain is present...go to a website called convertfiles dot com and paste the link in the box where it says input choose the format(any format you want) for the output and it will give you a link for free, click on it and it will automatically download to your computer.

I've had a good experience with Screencast as well and for this simple application its more than sufficient.
