CamStudio 3.0

CamStudio 3.0 is a free and easy-to-use screen recorder for Windows, now with smoother performance, hardware-accelerated video encoding, better audio capture, and handy keyboard shortcuts. It supports H264, H265, and AV1 codecs, records app-specific sound, and lets you capture full screens, windows, or custom areas with minimal CPU usage. With improved output controls, crash-proof recordings, and Windows 11 support, it’s the best version yet for hassle-free screen recording.

CamStudio 3 offers resolution limiting with aspect ratio preservation, framerate control with maximum FPS settings, bitrate management for both video and audio, gamma-correct resizing, and improved color conversion for better RGB to YUV mapping.

Requirements: To run CamStudio 3, you'll need Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019 Update) or newer.

CamStudio 2.7.4 r354 is the last legacy version of the classic screen recorder, offering basic AVI and SWF recording with minimal system requirements. While simple and lightweight, it lacks modern features like hardware acceleration, advanced codecs, and improved audio capture found in CamStudio 3.0.
