  • It is a useful software but the problem with this software is it has limitations. Only mass of the video upto 2 GB or about 10 minutes in high quality or 30 minutes in medium quality. Also i cannot input and output record which is indeed a problem.
  • Useful screen recorder.
  • Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license!
  • App Basura. Este programa esta limitado a Funcionar solo con AVI y Flash. Pero incluso en ello falla. Es imposible grabar el Audio de PC [arroja fallo en la aplicacion]. No graba correctamente, Se salta demasiados cuadros y no es facilmente configurable. - Aun en un Equipo con Windows 10 x64 Bit 8gb Ram la aplicacion es inestable y consume demasiados recursos. 50 Segundos de "Video" tamaño 1920x1080 Pesaron 1 GB y el Index AVI esta dañado, tuve que reconstruirlo con VLC. - Si este programa funcionara El que su aspecto se haya quedado en Windows 98 Estaria ok. Pero no es asi. -Solo la Version de Soruce Forge esta "Limpia" (al 28 de Julio de 2020). Versiones anteriores y pagina Oficial Esta infectado con Virus Troyanos y Adwares.
  • Don't install it, seriously.

  • Why would a recording software have its default setting to not record the audio??!?!?!?!?? This has got to be one of the worst software design decisions I have ever had the misfortune to come across. I downloaded this software to record a family member's singing stream and it was not until I went to watch it later that I discovered it did not record the audio. This is a moment I will never be able to recover. Just because you give something away for free does not make it acceptable to make a crappy product. P.S. SourceForge, why do you not warn your users that this recording software has a no audio default setting?
  • Good, worked as expected. One issue: IT COMPLETELY RUINED MY VOLUME. Before using this, my volume was amazing. I couldn't even have it at full volume or it would blow my headphones out. After using this, I turn the volume all the way up and I can barely hear anything. I uninstalled the program, and guess what? MY VOLUME WAS STILL BROKEN. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL I USED THIS JUNK. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AT ALL. EVER!!!!!
  • Just calm yo tits guys, there is no virus FFS lol, all your antivirus scanners are probably just giving off false positive results. Had been using this for years and I've never come across any problems with viruses and whatnot. But I don't recommend using this because I've had problems with the program itself, such as it not being able to use the MP4 format.
  • I watched the video, followed it, and it didn't seem to do anything I told it. Too hard to use, even for an experienced computer person.
  • last time it's install virus in my PC when I install it from the official website. Here. Coming here on sourceforge.net is the reason to not install virus.
  • This thing is broken.
  • I just downloaded CamStudio from the SourceForge website and installed it. I found no malware nor adware. The install process offered no such options and after installation I found none on my PC. Seems like the problem has been addressed. I ran the program and it performed flawlessly. It seems to do exactly what it claims to do. Thanks, Aaron 10-30-17
  • There is NO malware (there was addware once but that had been taken out and honestly: READ before you click [OK]! Always! I have installed many good software and many did not make it easy to avoid the search or home screen to be set to something other than what you have. Even Adobe tries to install unwanted software whenever you update pdf or flash) I use the software since 10 years now and I am totally happy with it. I use screen capture rarely and am therefore no pro. The features I get are exactly the features I need. I am sure there are more powerful and sophisticated apps out, but I want to record my actions and not have to read through pages and pages of manuals before I can even start thinking of recording. This is why I don't use Photoshop if I want a quick graphic but GIMP or even MSSPaint. Concluding: I love it. It does what I want and I can start recording 5 minutes after the download started. Is there more powerful software out? Maybe, but this is free and the interface is manageable. I wished they were in CNet and the likes to be wider spread and then some of us may even donate. I donate 5$ each time I install it on a machine. The developers won't get more than a Cappucino out of it, but I try not to pay more than that. It's more an acknowlegement of their efforts than to attribute to their new Lear Jet. And I am sorry since I work in IT and know how much 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' go into software like that. (I did not need 'support' so cannot judge on it)
  • WARNING - DO NOT DOWNLOAD - Camstudio is a mediocre program that the developers ruined by including unwanted software programs in the download process. It will automatically download a search engine, malware scanner, and about 2 other terrible, unwanted programs that took me 45 minutes to completely uninstall from my computer. On top of that, I had to run a system scan to make sure I didn't get hacked or catch a virus. Consider any of Camstudio's competitors/alternatives, all of which are much better and dont try to unethically trick you into downloading trash software programs. Again, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, it's a low grade, low class, waste of time program

  • oh dear...the installer tries to install adware. If you don't read the text and simply click "Accept", you will install adware. Don't install this software. Also it doesn't work well anymore. It's extremely slow, the output is garbage and who needs *.swf anymore? This project should be deleted. Especially because it tries to trick you into installing adware onto your pc. The trust is broken. I will tell anyone not to use this software. @janhgm @nickthegeek Please fix this garbage. I will contact sourceforge.net otherwise.
  • This goddamn thing installed some random malware... next thing you know... I got this virus that was making my entire windows system flash neon lights. I ended up closing all my work that I was doing, and I uninstalled this piece of crap. However, the system still was flashing... I had to go to the task manager and end task in order to get rid of it.... whoever invented this... your moms a hoe
  • I installed this on my system and did not get any viruses or adware installed. I watched the tutorial video from 2013 on the author's website and in that video he not only informs users that they can choose to not install the adware but also asks users to inform him if they have trouble uninstalling the adware. He states that he considers that a breach. If you have been infected, then you should contact the author at camstudio dot org and inform him of the issues you have encountered. Take care.
  • Take down this project! CamStudio installed so much unremovable crapware on my computer I had to reinstall windows. You fn b******s! Sourceforge that this down as your reputation is at stake.

  • Used to be good . Now it is like the cancer in human body . I completely formated the computer!!!!!!!!!! Antiviruses can't do nothing for this cancer . Excellent alternative is OBS STUDIO .

  • Useless program. Chock full of adware with a very confusing installation process that makes you think you are declining the adware but it installs it anyway. The program did not work. Would not let me change region size for capture so the only choices were tiny square, full window or full screen. After recording 15 minutes of screen interactions I clicked Stop, it asked me for the filename, I entered a name, and it saved a huge mp4 and then popped up a whole bunch of error windows. I had to kill the program using pskill. Sourceforge should not be allowing this garbage on their site.
  • Hey SourceForge, How can you allow this garbage to remain on this site? VirusTotal shows 29 virus scanners are indicating malware, Trojans, Adware and more from reputable virus scanners like AVG, Viper, Kapersky, McAfee and Sophos. This needs to be removed from SourceForge. People DO NOT download this. You have been warned.

  • I have used this for many years now. The latest version is downloading virus / malware / Adware. Thankfully the antivirus utility got hold of it. Never again.

  • In the early days this was some great open source no nonsense software, It could of been annexed as a gift to mankind, but the project was taken over by a man filled with greed. He let anyone holding a wad of cash stuff adware, malware and viruses into the installer. Virus's so hard to remove they require the download of removal tools, yes other good people had to step in to make removal tools for us. Avoid downloading this, don't compromise your systems security by downloading after all it will be you paying with time / money to have it removed. Unless your an advanced computer user with at least a memory sandbox, I would avoid this at all costs and I did some tests, it still installs malware even if you decline the questions.
