I have been using and reviewing several screen recording applications in the past years including Camtasia Studio and Camstudio but I never came upon a software that was easier to use. Tip Cam is a free screen recording software that records the full desktop or parts of it and saves the output in flash video format which is the most common video format on the Internet these days.
It comes with a few settings, quality settings for instance, but those are really only a few when compared to the screen recording applications mentioned above. You basically pick the size of the recording area from several available ones. They are divided into so called Zoom Levels and those that resize the desktop and the default one which records the complete desktop.
We all know that a larger area will increase the size of the video tremendously. The Zoom Levels that are available are 640×480, 800×600 and 1024×768. They appear as a green box that can be moved across the screen before starting the recording.
The compression setting has a huge impact on the quality of the recording. The default, lower quality, reduces the file size but is problematic with text and tiny objects if you do a full screen recording. The high quality compression creates a clear image that is good to read. Voice can be recorded as well by using a microphone that is connected to the computer.
The output will be created as flv files that can be uploaded to Youtube for instance or the service that the developers of Tip Cam offer their users. Tip Cam is excellent for users that want to create a quick recording without having to worry about complicated settings and options.

Why does this need WinVNC? Any chance this opens up a vulnerability?
Also, I found it unstable and you can either capture full screen or a fixed size region. I’ll stick w/CamStudio.
Tip Cam installed. recording video no problem but I don’t have sound. What could be the reasen?
this vry good software
TipCam is a nice screen recording application. But the Zoom function is not easy to control. I prefer DemoCreator.
