[Frameworks] Screen Recorders

[Aaron F. Ross]

Camtasia is the gold standard for screen capture. I use it 
professionally on a daily basis. It *does* capture absolutely 
everything, picture and sound.

The main issue with screen capture software is the cursor. It is on a 
different plane overlaid on the rest of the desktop. Some software 
does not even capture the cursor at all. Camtasia works around this 
by capturing the cursor commands and generating its own cursor. So it 
does have minor issues. For example, if you zoom in on the screen 
using Magnifier, the cursor is the wrong size and place.

But generally, Camtasia is pretty foolproof. It uses a proprietary 
codec that is lossless and very, very efficient. It's worth the $300 
price tag if you use it regularly.
