What is Screencast Video Recorder:
Screencast Video Recorder is a "demonstration" tool for devices running Android 2.2+. SVR can record the device's screen and encode it into an MPEG4 video, as well as taking screenshots in JPEG, BMP or PNG formats. There are two versions of SVR in the market, a free and a paid version.
Screencast is available on Google's Android Market and AndroidPIT's App Center.
Features:
- Video Screen Capture
- Live narration while recording
- Screenshots
- Gallery Interface
- Benchmark Tool
- Home screen widgets
Known Bugs/Issues:
- Tegra 2 devices: This is not really a bug, but an inherit problem with Tegra 2 devices. Screencast is built using NEON instruction set for the most part, and as such, requires a device that has NEON capability. Nvidia decided to not include NEON support in their Tegra 2 devices.
- Video cannot be played: (Workaround: Use MoboPlayer to play your recordings)
This is a problem with native video players on some devices. Some video players can only play video files with standard sizes/dimensions. Screencast recordings inherit the device's screen dimensions at High quality setting, and half the dimensions at Normal quality setting.
Certain video players, like MoboPlayer, can play any video file and do not make assumptions about the video's dimensions.
- Recorded videos do not appear in SVR's Gallery: This is an intermittent bug and happens rarely, a fix is on the way.
- Application Install Error/Corrupt Settings: This happens if SVR was moved to external storage. Right now SVR can only be installed on the internal memory, and will not function properly otherwise. In case it was moved to external storage, it is necessary to uninstall first then re-install from the market.
Requested features:
- Install to SD
- Record system audio
- Option to change default save folder
Latest release notes:
