CamStudio Portable

CamStudio Portable

This is a screen recording app that works from a USB drive. You can define the shape of the recording area, the frame rate, and other functions. It is lightweight but the files can be large.

The small application screen very efficient.
The screen size is defined by the corner arrows you see at the four corners of the screenshot.

The CamStudio Player showing what you just recorded.
Notice a problem.

Well if you did not notice the screen size I selected was correct but it was shifted to left and up by one-third. No matter what I did to the setting it was always recording off center. It was high quality and I could adjust but still very annoying.

Here's why this is a 80% program...
Pros

  1. Easy to use
  2. Great playback
  3. Lots of functions
  4. Very lightweight
Cons
  1. Off center recording
  2. Some of the functions are not clear to a novice
Rating: 8 out of 10 (80%)

Got it at:

This copy I have is older, allegedly they updated so I will too soon.
