BeScreenCapture

An application to capture the content of your screen and save it to a "movie". The application is great for giving users an introduction to your application or if you need to give support.

This app let you capture the content of your screen, and save it in any movie format supported by Zeta. It uses BDirectWindow for minimum CPU-usage. The frames are immediately stored on the hard drive.

When using the AVI File Format, the following range of codecs are available:

- DivX ;-) MPEG-4 Encoder (DIV3)
- DivX ;-) MPEG-4 Encoder (DIV4)
- DivX ;-) MPEG-4 Encoder (MP43)
- Cinepak Compression
- Indeo5 Video
- Motion-JPEG Compression
- Photo-JPEG Compression
- Raw Video

When using QuickTime as your Output Format, the following codecs are available:

- Cinepak compression
- Indeo5 video
- Photo-JPEG compression

Typically when you want to send the video file as an attachment to an e-mail, you will have to think on the size. BeScreenCapture lets you do that in three ways.

First of all, it lets you shrink the movie. When enabling this option, the default option is 320x200, but other resolutions can be set manually.

You can secondly set the Capture Area. By default BeScreenCapture is set to record the Whole screen, but you can also record from a Custom Area.

The third option to manipulate the file size, is to set Frames per Second. By default the recordings are set to 10 frames.

If you are not to send the video recording by e-mail, you might want to record it in a better quality. When it comes to adjusting frames per second, you must have in mind that the CPU load will become quite much higher, something you might want to do if you have running important tasks.
