I have been collecting on-line woodworking videos for my own use for years. I had been using a product called RIPTIGER to capture them and was very happy with it until I had to reinstall it and discovered that they appear to be out of business (or at least their support team is). I can't reinstall without the required installation codes even though I paid for the product. I liked RIPTIGER because you didn't have to select the portion of the screen you want to record. You just start RIPTIGER and play the video. It captures it and converts it to an MP4 file.
Now that RIPTIGER doesn't work, I am looking for a new way to capture my online videos. I tried the trial version of SNAGIT and EZVID but they are "screen capture programs" and you have to select the portion of the screen you want to record, start the video, stop the capture when the video is over, and manually save the file. Lots of manual work required. I have tried other "screen capture programs" but they all require this manual intervention to grab the video.
What product and method are you using and would you recommend it?
