IT IS NOT FREEWARE, UNUSABLE.
ewphillips123January 19, 2014
Pros
NONE I CAN THINK OF BECAUSE I NEVER WANTED TO USE IT WITH THE RED BOLD OVER MOST OF THE MIDDLE "WATERMARK." A WATERMARK BY DEFINITION IS SUPPOSE TO BE SUBTLE. THIS IS NOT, THEREFORE IT IS NOT A WATERMARK.
Cons
THERE IS A WATERMARK WHICH IS SO BIG IT MAKES IT UNUSABLE. WHEN A COMPANY MISCHARACTERIZES SOMETHING, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IT IS NOT THE ONLY THING. CAN'T BELIEVE THESE GUYS. I AM LOOKING ELSEWHERE. I AM NOT GOING TO EVER CONSIDER UPGRADING TO THESE BAIT AND SWITCH PROFESSIONALS.
Summary
cannot keep the video and audio in sync

Pros
NONE Maybe easy to use, BUT I can not use it at all
Cons
crash all the time
Summary
I think I would rather use QuickTime player
Crash caused massive corrupted file upon first launch!

Pros
None. Never had the chance to use it due to crash on first launch.
Cons
1. Crashes on first launch. 2. Created a ridiculously large corrupt file (almost 3TB!!!) that could not be deleted by any other way except to format our computer and restore it back to factory settings!!! 2. Pretty much paid $30 (which is already somewhat steep for an application) for a DUD! 3. Mien Software's (the developer) support NEVER responded to the issue. 4. 30 Day money back guarantee NEVER honored.
Summary
Bad software, and support service! I purchased this program and had it downloaded onto my Mac. Before i even had the chance to try it out, the program crashed upon launching and created an almost 3TB(!!!) corrupted file in my user preferences folder that could not be deleted. This resulted in us having to take our computer in to format our entire hard drive and restore it to factory settings. HUGE HASSLE!!! On top of that, I contacted the software support service about the issue, and never heard back. Obviously i also never got my money back. Not worth all that trouble!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 7, 2013<p/>Small correction... the price was $14.95 not $30. But we now have a free software that does a much better job than this one was intended to.
Pretty good program

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I bought this yesterday. It took a while to learn and I had to fiddle with various settings to get my 15 min training video suitable for the Internet, but in the end it worked well. The developer was very supportive.
So far...so good

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I tested it quickly.... it worked ....so I bought it. I wanted a capture that saved to disk right away, unlike the post-processing of Snapz... Haven't tested fully ...but will within the next week. THe app does what it says. Price is reasonable.....
pre-beta version!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Sorry, but i don't see how you got to version 1.6.1, i'm afraid to even imagine what the previous versions worked like. I am using Panther, and this app crashes 80% of the time within 10 seconds of the start of a video capture, regardless of frame rate, codec and objects recorded. How you can expect people to pay 20 bucks for this is beyond me. Perhaps i'll take another look when you're up to version 37.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I tired this as I was have a problem with Snapz pro 2, This is a the worst excuse for a screen caputre program. Not working . Ugle interface. Bad user support. Sent 3 messages to tech support. Answered me in 6 days.Had to force quit the app. 3 time. On Panther osx 10.3.3 People beware this app, is not working correctly! Very stupid interface confusing a little. I could not even figure out after setting the screen size with the set screen size button how to get back to start it. Took 20 min. to figure it out. What a joke. You have been advised! NEVER USE THIS AS IT IS A PC MAKER TRYING TO MAKE MAC PROGRAMS ( if he is not a pc software maker he should be as this is work like a pc and is cr-p! Then to pay the money they ask . You gotta be kidding!
Works great for me in OS X

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I don't know why some people are having problems...I suspect that it may be OS 9 related since this app probably works better with the pre-emptive multi-tasking built into OS X. I haven't used this in OS9, so I don't know if there is a problem or not in OS 9. In OS X this app is great. I prefer it to Snapz Pro since I had problems with Snapz installing scripting and kernel extensions that tend to make my computer bug out. I try to avoid apps with kernel extensions since they may bring the extension conflicts of OS9 days to OS X. Also, ScreenRecord is much cheaper than SnapzPro.
Some major flaws in OS 9.x

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I was looking for a screen recorder that would work in both OS 9 and X. I am making movies of troubleshooting steps in both OSes. I used this in OS X and was impressed with it. I found, at first, that worked well in OS 9 so I bought it. Then I discoved one super-major flaw when using this in OS 9. In OS 9 ScreenRecord does not record pull down menus. For instance, any of the File menus or the Apple Menu. In general, the frame rate is low and the movies are a little jerky. But fine for non-professional usage. I was also testing Snapz Pro at the same time. Snapz Pro for OS X works great. It's better than ScreenRecord since the frame rate is higher (30 vs. 12 for screenrecord). Snapz Pro works much better in OS 9.x than ScreenRecord. The pull down menus actually get recorded. See my review of Snapz Pro for more details.
