• It only recorded a black Screen

  TeaRayNovember 9, 2013

  Pros

  Hard to say

  Cons

  Customer Support

  Summary

  After three installation tries, all three recording modes only recorded a black screen. On several occasions when I tried to open Camverce, a pop up message said that it was already running. There was no indication of it running anywhere. It wasn't listed in the task bar, sys tray or in task manager. I had to reboot in each case. Innoheim's customer support is the worse I've ever dealt with. Information in their online support data base is lacking. The Camverce user forum link listed in the help menu is a dead link.( Error 404: NOT FOUND!) Their web page support request form says they will respond within 12 hours but not in my case. I submitted two requests over two days. After no response on day 4, I called the vendor and made my first request for a refund. They instead gave me an email address for Innoheim liteCam support to try which I did. There is no telephone number to contact them with either by the way! liteCam Support respond to my email the next day asking for my system information which I sent. They wanted me to set up an appointment to go to some web page that they would later provide me the URL to and then remotely connect to my PC, if I was comfortable with that. I was not! Not having much confidence in them at this point, I gave them my telephone number since they ignored my request for theirs and asked them to call me. Well, they never did. On day seven, I made another request to the vendor for a refund and that is now in the works. One thing that I came up with on my own was that I suspect the recording problem may be associated with the automatic hardware acceleration that Camverce performs. When installed on Windows 7, it's an automatic function and there is no manual setting for it.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 24, 2013<p/>update: I did receive a call from someone at Camverce on day 11. They apologized for taking so long to get back with me.

• The best bang for your buck. Worth every penny.

  Pros

  Great Price. I'm against those overcharging software companies Very straight forward, easy to use Fast technical support

  Cons

  No Mac version available Ironically, no video tutorials available even though it's a software designed to create tutorials.

  Summary

  I'm an IT trainer for a telecom company and I've been using several different products including Camtasia and Adobe Captivate. I was originally looking for a simple video recording software for quick video captures and found litecam. This program became my favorite software. A few months later I received a newsletter from this company about Camverce so I decided to give it a try. Here is what found after 3 weeks. This program has fewer features than Camtasia, if these missing features are important and you use them daily AND are worth $200 to you, go with Camtasia. Don't get me wrong, Camverce is packed with features for its $99 price tag. I believe it will be more than enough for most of people, including myself. None of my trainees noticed any difference between the videos when I played two videos- one I made with CamVerce and the other using Camtasia. I believe anyone should be able to create great tutorial video with CamVerce.

• Difficult to figure out -does not perform as advertised

  Steve_GreerSeptember 3, 2011

  Pros

  There are none

  Cons

  Too complicated. Video capture off the computer does not work. It comes up black; no video at all!. Defaults are Mono-16bit-22Hz. You have to change them to Stereo-16bit-44Hz every time. No very intuitive. Save your money and look somewhere else.

  Summary

  Don't waste your money or your time. Too frustrating even for me and I've been working on computers for over 30 years.
