What Are Some Good Audio and Screen Recorders?

[Melody]

Are there any audio and screen recorders that require no download? Yes, I know that ones a long shot, but that works best for my laptop.

If not, do you know any (free) ones that I can download, and are easy and efficient? I don't need it to record my voice or anything...

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS OR DOES ACTUALLY ANSWERS THIS QUESTION.

i also has an option to shrink to the task bar when it start recording the screen!!

How would you get it without downloading it...or do you mean without buying it.

If you do, I'll just stick to free ones I know.

One of the first ones you may run into is called CamStudio. I never got it to work properly on any PC I've ever used. However, my problems with the program are apparently rare so it might work for you. I would recommend you also get an encoder called DivX encoder. The default encoders either don't work, or have terrible quality. You're next two options(as far as I know) would be BandiCam and HyperCam. BandiCam works great with no noticable impact on your PC's performance, but there's a limit of 10 minutes to record your screen. Hypercam has a slightly noticable impact on your performance(a 10-20 fps decrease in performance on things that aren't locked at a certain framerate or that your computer isn't capable of running beyond the locked framerate.) Unfortunately, Hypercam only has a 21 day trial for their program, but no doubt it will be able to get the job done while you need it.
