Windows Video Capture Software Debut

Most Windows video capture software programs have some sort of limitations like a time limit or watermarks when capturing video. The good thing about Debut Video Capture Software (via Freeware Genius) is that it is totally free and comes with no limitations. The video capture software works with internal and external video capture cards, webcams and can also capture almost everything that is shown on the monitor screen.

Debut can capture the entire screen or a rectangular area selected by the user plus it can record sound from any source connected to the computer if so desired. It has a wide range of output formats and quality settings. Videos can be captured in avi, mov, flv and several other formats. Several video encoder options can be changed in the program’s settings.

Minor video capture editing is supported as well. The user can change the framerate and size of the output video and apply video effects and text annotations which comes in handy for demonstration videos.

It can capture fullscreen which it does ok for desktop applications. Before you can capture applications that hide the program interface of Debut you need to set global shortcuts in the program options.

Debut Video Capture Software is definitely more a software to capture the screen or part of the screen that it would be a replacement for applications like Fraps which is great for games. What I really like is that it can capture the sound from a microphone which means that you can create demonstration videos on the fly without having to record the sound in the editing process.

   I can’t figure out any way to zoom on the fly. Has anyone else figured that out?
