The program is easy to use, you can pause/resume recording, control its work via keyboard hotkeys, adjust the frame rate to achieve higher or lower quality videos, adjust audio settings, and much more.

ScreenVirtuoso is FREE for non-commercial use (no watermarks, nag screens and other restrictions) but you need to purchase a license to use it for any commercial purposes. ScreenVirtuoso is available in two editions: Standard and PRO, both FREE for non-commercial use. However, the Standard edition has limited functionality comparing to the Pro version.

Great find! I tested it out and I got about 40 fps general screen recording and about 15-20fps recording gameplay. So it's not an alternative to Fraps, but it's better than any other free screen recorder I know of.

For a free alternative to Fraps, try Gregion.

Does this program, or any one out there have different profiles? Say for example you want to record using a set screen size on one chat program like AIM, then another on Skype, or Yahoo. Also, to have multiple screen sizes for each profile. So you could make a profile called Yahoo, then have two set screen sizes. One for a small window recording, and another for full screen recording. I know you can do things manually, but I'd like profiles for easy switching between the various screen sizes.

I'm currently using Camtasia, but I'm having a very annoying issue that I think is caused by Windows 7. I'm not sure what it's called, but I changed the Win7 setting that allows you to like zoom in and make fonts bigger. I set it to like 125 instead of the usual 100 or whatever it is. The problem is when trying to record full screen in Yahoo, that green rectangle doesn't always show up. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It must be a bug because of that option I changed. I'm really hoping they fix this!! Anyone ever experience this? I know I can hit F9 to start recording, but then I need to manually drag the green rectangle to cover the entire screen. I want it to save my last used setting and always show the green rectangle. It could also have something to do with my screen size being 1920x1200. I think it happens on Skype as well. I'm hoping I can find a good recording program that won't have this issue.

mkv and avi are both just containers... They have little to do with the actual codec.

That's my point! The AVI container has quite a lot of limitations which are solved by using MKV instead. Also, it would be pretty stupid to put H.264 video in an AVI.

    • I hate to be considered a Communist, or perhaps even worse in the US a Socialist, but...you do hear yourself, right? Capitalism needs rail guards if it's going to survive! We're already in the middle of the end of the era! Your argument is that if someone has enough money to buy out someone that has the smarts, that should be allowed. And if the indie developer doesn't capitulate they should be dragged through the courts for a period of time whereby they cannot afford the costs and give in to save them financial hardship. That's pretty screwed up, and I don't agree with it. The DMA tries to make sure it doesn't happen.
