1AVCapture is a capturing software that can record video, audio, images and streaming media. The software captures the media which is a different method that most video and audio downloaders use. This makes it more complex to download media that other downloaders can simply download to the local computer system with the click of a mouse button but indispensable for media where those downloaders fail.
1AVCapture can record anything that can be heard or seen by the user sitting in front of the computer. The program displays a list of recording profiles at each startup which can be used to quickly configure a new media capturing session.
Those profiles range from recording the PC screen or region with or without audio, recording audio directly from the microphone, another device or all that can be heard or to broadcast the audio, the PC screen or a region live on the Internet.
The program has not been primarily designed to capture streaming videos but it can be used for that as well. A video on a video portal like Youtube for instance can be recorded regardless of the technology, digital rights management or encryption used on the website. As long as it can be seen and heard it can be recorded.
To record a video on a website one would select the appropriate profile, draw a rectangle around the video area to define the part of the screen that the video plays in, select a 30 fps framerate, start the recording and the video.
Some users might notice a flaw here very soon. The program records what is shown on the desktop. This means that the video or the recording area has to be in the foreground all the time. If something else is placed in front that is recorded instead of the video. The same is true for audio recordings.
1AVCapture can also be used to capture video and audio from video devices such as camcorders. The main application for most users is probably the use as a screen recorder which can be useful for creating demonstration videos or broadcasting part of the screen or the full desktop on the Internet.
Installation
1AVCapture is supplied as a zip file that contains the setup.exe to install the media capturing software, the file activate.exe to activate the program and a readme document that contains installation instructions.
Installation begins with the execution of setup.exe. Do not start the application at the end of the installation as you need to run activate.exe first to activate the software to make it a licensed copy.
The program found a new update during usage and recommended to download it afterwards. Installing this update will turn the licensed version into a trial version. Make sure to not download and install the update.
