Used Hero Screen Recorder for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Despite a decent set of features for capturing videos of PC activities, Hero Screen Recorder has a problematic interface and questionable stability that hold it back. Though the program has an innovative and modern design, it's unintuitive. For example, we assume you can play back your new clips in the program's main window, but we could never figure out how to do so. We wish the publisher would have included help files or a tutorial to clear up matters. The utility lets you capture the entire screen, cursor moves, separate windows, and screen areas, and you also can record audio and keyboard sounds. Hot Screen Recorder saves videos as AVI, GIF, EXE, or HSR files, though in our tests, the program's output quality was merely average. To make matters worse, the utility seriously slowed our computer's speed when going about its business. Although the program lets you merge videos and cut specific frames, that process also takes too long. Hero Screen Recorder might suit experienced users with powerful PCs, but most other folks will probably want something easier to use.

Pros
Program is very easy to use and straight-forward. Options are simple to understand. You choose your hotkeys.
Cons
Very strange. Sound is very bad in the various settings I chose. Video plays upside down and in reverse!!! Words in English which were highlighted one at a time on the screen were skipping in the produced video. Very hard to verify.
Summary
Can not export to .avi

Pros
Light file sizes, easy install, easy uninstall, hotkeys, no watermark (I'm assuming on the watermark)
Cons
You cannot export to .avi That makes the program useless.
Summary
Hard to ajust to but very easy to use once you're used to it.

Pros
The program has all the good outputs (avi, exe, and my favourite (espically for msn), gif). It gives you a goodlooking layout and works well. Also there is no watermark and you can use it for as long as you like.
Cons
The quality of the gifs is lacking. It has something like 6 frames per second and the gif runs slower than the actual screen.
