Debut Video Capture Software

Debut Video Capture is one of the simplest video recording tools for Windows. It can capture video from a built-in PC webcam, USB device and more interestingly, right from what is being displayed on your screen. If you need to make a video demonstrating how to do something online or in a certain application program, this functionality can come in very handy.

The program is very simple to operate, meaning that anyone can use it, even those who have never used a screen capture program before. You just select the area of your screen that you want it to record, then press the record button. Other controls include pause and stop. The video can be saved in a variety of formats, including AVI and MPG. If you want to share your new video with the world right away, the program lets you upload it to a web server by FTP or send it by email.

While Debut Video Capture works well as a recorder, it doesn't include a player feature, forcing you to manually open the video file and view it in an external application if you want to see the video you've just created. It also doesn't have any video editing features that other software in its category usually offers.

Despite these slight limitations, it remains a good choice for anybody who wants to make a recording of on-screen activity. This can include students who want to catch a quick segment of an online news video to include in a presentation, authors of informational products who want to explain in an effective way how to perform a task on the PC or office managers who want to make a video showing their team how to use a new work application.
