First Look: macVCR 2.0

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on Oct 11th, 2008



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
macVCR 2.0 is available for US$22.62 (£14.00) from the Arten Science Web store. A free trial download (click downloads application) is available for those who wish to try the software before they buy; it limits recording time to 90 seconds. macVCR 2.0 is free to educational and charity organizations.

app4mac releases Sequence 1.1

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on Oct 9th, 2008

Sequence

Sequence, a screen capture utility developed by App4Mac, has been revised to version 1.1. This is a free update for registered users.

For capturing screenshots or video of Mac screens, Sequence takes advantage of multithreaded code and 64-bit support for compression. Capturing DVD playback and audio is easy, and it's possible to record from your iSight and screen at the same time. With the voice recording function, you can narrate the screen capture for easy creation of screencasts.

Documentation for Sequence is now built into the application, which can be used to develop training videos, product demos, tutorials, and archiving streaming video. Mac OS X 10.5 or later is required.

Sequence is available from App4Mac for $29. Localized versions are available in French and simplified Chinese.

iPhone Video proof of concept posted

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Dec 13th, 2007

iPhone developer Drunknbass has been working amazingly hard for some time now getting video recording working on the iPhone. I've been following his effort and seeing him struggle with some major obstacles. It's not a simple thing. There are issues about capturing the data and producing output in real time. And here, sometimes events outpace us. I was hoping to post a real video with this write-up but since the software has already been leaked, I decided to go ahead and write about what currently exists.

Drunknbass's program is groundbreaking. It records 5 seconds of video at 10 fps and then immediately plays it back and proves that usable video capture is possible.
