Ah HA!

The trouble seemed to be that I was having it save the files into a sub-folder of my screen shots and it won't play them from there. I don't know if it is recording sound or not, but I have it on default, so I think it is recording stereo mix.

I have both the SC and the ESR starting with the startup of my computer, so that I can run them right from hotkeys at any moment that I need them.  So the preferred method I am looking for, I think, would be to figure out how to open the SC from the "With last recorded video do..." and display the video that just recorded. I am not familiar with what commands would be required for this, Would it be possible?

Wow!  This is exactly the thing I have been hunting for!   

I am not exactly sure how it "integrates" with Screenshot Captor (my greatest LOVED utility of all time), but I sure like that I can set my own combination hotkey and BOOM! I am recording.   ;D  No fuss, no muss, and with another hit of the chosen shortcut keys, I am done and can get on with whatever I need to do with the video file.

I definitely need to donate some more credits and send them to Mouser.  :-*

AVI seems to kick up an error for me, but the default works great and I am guessing I only need to get more codex installed for the rest.  SUPPER SWEET!

As for the integration, it sure would be cool if I chose the same ScreenShots folder as I use for the Screenshot Captor, and then it could open up the Captor window after recording a video and do the preview of the video right there with the nice folder display on the side.  Not seriously necessary, but would sure work nicely for someone who uses the Screenshot Captor a ton.

Maybe Something like below:
