WHY CANT THERE JUST BE A FREAKING NORMAL RECORDER WITH JUST A RECORD BUTTON IN IT

[@MrArd-we5ry]

i agree

[@thee1mage484]

there is... Well, as you know, in this world, money rules. Be happy that you can use anything for free ;) Btw, fraps is classic.

[@FinnValentineB]

ikr everything else is so confusing

[@thee1mage484]

yea, totaly true.. Everybody's trying to get some use of something that already exist's, with bunch of fucking stupid change's... That's why, lately, i consider switching to Linux OS, it's free, completly customizable, simple.. So much more... =)

[@aple1015]

dont advertise me dude

[@FinnValentineB]

1.IceCream screen recorder:I dont want to record for 5 mins. 2.iSpring: It keeps cutting off my recording and it pisses me off. 3.OBS: The most confusing thing i have ever seen in my life. (IM NOT SAYING OBS IS BAD, I JUST CANT FIGURE IT OUT) 4.Nvidia:It wont even let me download. 5.SmartPixel: I came to this video to find one WITHOUT a watermark and you did too. EDIT: OH MY GOD THANKS FOR THE LIKES :O edit: a little backstory of my channel just for you to have something to read if you’re interested. I was 11 when i wrote this comment, i am now 14. i had a channel for around 3 years and then deleted all the videos a few years ago. i met my boyfriend on my channel when i was 10, and we have now been together for 2 years. i’m now planning on becoming an animator. just kind of a little useless update and backstory of my channel, i probably sound pretty conceded but i always wonder where people are years later (just random strangers on youtube,) so this is for the people out there like me.

[@matt.paikoff]

use LoiLo you can only record one window at a time but it's so good!!!!!!

[@darklight002]

You may have the wrong ispring, he said there was another one with a time limit and the one he suggest is free cam which has no time limit.

[@konekokatt9986]

I had a terrible experience with Icecream screen recorder. The graphics sucked and it slowed down my laptop. And if I made a sound, I could hear it on the recording.

[@gamersplaygames6562]

Yes! Icecream sucks. After a week it asked me to pay for it. I regret downloading it, like Konekokatt said, It slows down your computer and was a pain to use.

[@user-kk3es1gm3z]

Great job man

[@RoseSupreme]

I tried iSpring Free Cam... why won't it record 60 FPS? I'm using it to record footage from KZbin videos as a test. It only records 15 FPS.

[@Diaxminator]

30 fps for me but it's still terrible

[@RoseSupreme]

Yeah. My computer is utter shit, but back then it was able to record 60 FPS clips with FRAPs. I would've still used FRAPs, but it just refuses to show the FPS counter when I'm in a browser.

[@FinnValentineB]

yea

[@BrettClimb]

OBS records at better FPS, I'd recommend trying it.

[@Ayveh]

It only let me record up to one minute and like 30 seconds, then it froze and only let me move my mouse :/

[@BellwetherKun]

All of them?

[@anisadesi7803]

OBS

[@FireW0lf]

What do you mean you're not going to record over 10 mins? If your making good quality content then of course you most likely will do over 10 mins

[@viewtifuljon8105]

FireW0lf I think he means 10 mins uninterrupted, you will likely show more than just the screen for 10 mins non stop

[@rrttyy11229]

He's using a free one

[@sharkcolla7272]

Funny thing is that this vid is only 8 mins

[@theashleyfamily4050]

You can film 10 mins straight, then you can make your whole video into separate 10 min parts (or however long you want), and use an editor to connect each piece.
