First Look: macVCR 2.0
Arten Science has announced the immediate availability of macVCR 2.0, a Leopard application for capturing any video source on a Mac screen and saving it to QuickTime, AVI, M4V, or other movie formats.
While not as full-featured as Telestream's US$99 ScreenFlow or Ambrosia's US$69 Snapz Pro X, the entry-level price of macVCR 2.0 may make it attractive to Mac owners who are looking for a low-cost video capture solution. Features include:
- Live Camera Feed Option
- Magnify Area at Cursor
- Date and Time Overlay Option
- Choice of Codecs
- Resolution Presets
- Performance Adjustment
- Support for Multiple Monitors
- Record a Selected Region of any Monitor
- Export to Windows Media, iPhone, Apple TV, AVI and Many More
- Low Disk and CPU Usage

Sounds pretty cool, but I already have Screenflick which I love. Do not like SnapZ Pro X at all. ScreenFlow, imo...is very, very good, but more than *I* need.

Also, if this was indeed official, it'd be a Youtube partner channel.

What about TubeTV? I've used that, and it was free...

I thought this was a video source capture app (i.e. VHS to computer input).

Yes. Apple's HackTV. I use it all the time:

Totally free. Enjoy.

It doesn't say if it captures from Firewire via your HD cable box. Then we could play directly from Frontrow.
