Record your screen, mouse movements and audio for free with Screen Video Recorder for Windows.

Screen Video Recorder is a program that does exactly what it says: records video of your screen. You’ll be able to record everything you do on screen, including your mouse movements and any audio you record all in the same video.

But this program won’t just record video for tutorials, it can also record video streams from IM and chat programs, video capture cards and others all in the same program. It must be said though that it won’t be able to record video from video cameras like webcams unless the cams are displayed on-screen. If that’s the kind of video recording you’re looking for, you’ll want to look into something else like Camtasia Studio.

One of the main benefits of this program is the fact that you’ll be able to capture video and audio at the same time – something that some screen recorder software for Windows just won’t do. This way you’ll be able to capture great tutorial videos that include both audio and video for your viewers and get them uploaded to YouTube quickly.

Screen Video Recorder will export your files to both WMV and AVI, but it needs to be said that there is no native video editing support included with the program. If you need to edit your videos you can drag and drop them into something like Windows Movie Maker (which is 100% free!) and edit your files that way.

The interface for the program is a bit on the light side, but since this is a screen recorder and not a full video editing suite, we’ll forgive them. When you start recording video all you have to do is tell it what audio and video codec you want to use (AVI or WMV), what you want to record (a specific program window, full screen, etc.), and you’ll be good to go.

If you’re just looking for a screen recorder, Screen Video Recorder does the job and does it well. It’s a little on the minimalist side but it gets the job done, and it can record virtually any kind of video input aside from video cameras.

Pros

  • Get Started in Minutes With Screen Video Recorder you’ll be able to set up your first screen recording with full audio and mouse tracking in just a minute or two.
  • Can Capture Both Screen and Video at the Same Time You can record a specific application or multiple windows all at once with just a few clicks.

Cons

  • Can’t Record Direct Video Input from Video Cameras This is a Screen Video Recorder, not a video recorder program. If it’s on your screen you can probably record it, but if it’s on a video camera it’s not going record.
  • This is Not a Video Editor If you want to edit your videos, you’ll want to use a tool like Windows Movie Maker to get the job done.
