Screen Recording Suite

There are situations when you need to record your desktop and save it as a video file. Maybe for creating a tutorial for using a certain application or to show the behavior of an application to its developer. Unfortunately, Windows allows saving desktop snapshots as image files but doesn't allow recording the screen and saving it as a video file. That's why one should use a specialized application for this purpose. A program which can help in this case is Screen Recording Suite.

This simple Windows application can record the desktop in several ways, together with sound, and can save it as a video file. The program's installation wizard can be completed in matter of seconds using a couple of clicks. After installing and running the program, the user will be asked whether he would like to configure the program's preferences and settings in order to capture the desktop in best conditions.

After completing this step, one will be taken to the main interface of the application, where he can select what area of the desktop should be captured. This includes a custom area, defined by the user, the whole desktop, the area around the mouse or a webcam's window. The recorded desktop can also be accompanied by sound, which can be recorded from various sources, including the microphone, line-in or the sound generated by applications.

After making all the necessary changes, the recording can be initialized using a single click. For stopping or pausing it, one can use shortcut keys. At the end of the capturing process, the video file will be automatically created in the folder configured in the program's options section. Besides recording the desktop, Screen Recording Suite can also take a snapshot of it and save it as an image file. The snapshot can be taken in different ways, in the same manner as the recording.

The program allows scheduling a recording to take place at a certain hour or day. This is useful for recording an online TV show or radio stream. Another extra tool is the converting feature, which can transform various video and audio files from a format to another.
