Easy Screencast Recorder is a mini screencast recorder.
It can be used standalone or can be integrated into Screenshot Captor to easily record simple screencasts.

v1.17.01 - May 30, 2017

[BugFix] Rewrote redbox overlay code to hopefully eliminate spurious displays of red on some recordings.
[BugFix] Repeated calls to select window to capture might not work if dll hooks are disabled in options.
[BugFix] Better error reporting.

v1.16.01 - May 25, 2017

[Improvement] High-DPI Windows (text size > 100%) is now supported well.
[Improvement] Installer now offers to run app after installation.
[Improvement] Options now accessible from system tray.
[BugFix] On windows 10 a remnant red overlay was seen when changing capture modes.
[BugFix] Another attempt to fix bug where Red region was stuck on screen for some people during recording; new kludge option that should absolutely solve it if you still see it.

v1.12.01 - April 22, 2015

[Feature] You can now set whether the main dialog stays on top of other windows or not.
[MinorFeature] Hotkey configuration box is now larger.

v1.11.01 - Sep 26, 2014

[BugFix] Trying to capture videos larger than about 2000x1014 could sometimes result in final output being resized to very small dimensions.
[BugFix] About box was going to wrong homepage.
[BugFix] Minor typos.
[Feature] Added option to check for updates on startup.

Basically it's intended to be a bare-bones simple screencast recorder for people who don't need a real screencast tool (I highly recommend most people get a real screencast tool which supports editing and callouts, etc.).

Simple interface:

System sound not just mic audio?
Say yes please

System sound not just mic audio?

I'm not made of magic -- you'll be able to select your audio device line -- if your soundcard has a "mix" or "what you hear" input, then you'll be able to record system sound, otherwise you'll have to choose a mic input.

Again -- if you have real and regular need to record high quality screencast videos -- this tool is not for you! Get yourself a serious screencast tool, there are some excellent ones out there.

This is for quick and dirty screencast recordings for people who can't be bothered to install and learn a full tool, and/or who want a screencast tool that integrates quickly into Screenshot Captor.

Somewhat related, somewhat not... is there a way to integrate this into screenshot captor to take stills? Sort of like what you have for the scanner, I'd like to use screenshot captor to take snapshots (not automatic, not timed, etc... just when I press a button or hotkey).

mouser · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2012, 06:26 AM »

kfitting, can you explain more.. i'm not sure what you are asking..

IF you are asking if SC can create still images of selected frames from a video file, then yes it can.

Basically, I'm just looking for a quick way to take pictures (on command, no scheduling) from my webcam. I use it with ABBYY Screenshot reader to OCR from books. Right now I fire up my webcam driver software and it's interface is clunky when all I want to do is take a quick picture. I looked around for webcam software but most of that software is geared around people grabbing pics every x seconds or something like that.

Screenshot captor can import from scanners, could it "import" directly from a webcam? Could it show a screen of the webcam video input and control the "shutter" on the webcam, saving the resulting file in it's output directory?

Now that I reread the intial post, however (later in the day!), I see this thread is about screencasting... not webcam related. Sorry for the offtopic post, I should have started a new thread.
