ZD Recorder provides a neat tool for capturing movement and just about anything else that can be displayed on a computer screen.

Its interface was shockingly plain, which led us to the User's Manual almost instantly. Fortunately, its no-frills layout made recording our actions onscreen very simple. Like running a video camera, there's a dotted square that captures all the action within its boundaries. By operating a series of Play, Stop, and Record buttons, similar to a typical remote control, we easily captured all our actions opening and operating a program. This function could have also been applied to video, but it seemed most helpful as a teaching tool for showing people how to run programs. We saved the video ZD Recorder created as an AVI file. It was instantly playable and easy to watch, too, since it looked just like our regular screen. ZD Recorder can also record sound from a microphone and loudspeakers simultaneously, which could be useful for narrating the action. While its layout could have been more professional, this program could be really handy to have around.

ZD Recorder has a 30-use trial limitation. It installs desktop icons without permission and leaves folders after uninstalling. It's simple and effective.

The concept is great, but execution is lacking.

Pros
It is VERY easy to download and use.
Cons
Even when the video source was excellent, the recorded version had digitalization problems. The playback video would often lock up then skip ahead. It most cases, even with a good initial source, the video playback was unwatchable.
Summary
Simply amazing software!

Pros
works as it says! the file created is much smaller than other products I've tried. simply one of the best Ive used. customizable keys that can allow for even a novice to use it effectively. can be used for a range of options
Cons
none that i can think about.
Summary
my use of this software is primarily for the recording of in game footage for editing. Ive tried fraps and got a lot of problems especially with the size of the files that was created, the audio was absent or off. but with zd recorder I've had no problems at all. the files created are small enough that my video editor wont crash and my hard drive wont take a beating with the huge files. overall this software would be a worthy buy for any video gaming enthusiast who wants to capture that great moment to share.
This Software is Really Amazing,
