Hi
Sometimes I want to record a video and can't import it using downloadhelper, so I thought about using a rectangle to capture what's on the screen.
I'm just new to this.
I don’t want very large files. I’d like a free software that gives me the video and audio but in low quality so it’s light on space.
I need something free, not just a trial.
I read a bit about ShareX. Do you know if you can pick the method to record so you get small, medium, or large files?

that share x serves as a method for capturing still frame screenshots, which is already included in Windows. it wasn't created to record moving images from a particular screen area. I haven't seen anything like this before, but I also haven't had the need to do it.

if the download helper isn't sufficient, then depending on the site, there might be a specific application that can extract from it. however, this assumes you have the legal permission to copy it. we cannot assist with violating laws by copying protected content.

more details would be required to determine if we can provide help or if we can support your request effectively.

The software OBS Studio should accomplish exactly what the OP requires! It will capture both audio and video, including recording portions of your screen or monitor.

Browser extensions like Loom and Vidyard offer this feature, though the free version has specific restrictions, it's not entirely clear what those are. If you have an iMac or Macbook, you can rely on Quiktime, which is included as built-in software. For others, Blackink suggests OBS as the top choice.

OBS doesn't require a microphone for recording. As long as the video plays on your computer, set the desktop audio as the source and it will capture both audio and video.

To reduce the output file size more, a video encoding tool such as Avidemux can be utilized. Encoding the video stream with x264 at a quality level around 25 will achieve the desired effect.

Hi, does Avidemux offer a free version that isn't just a trial, and is it capable of exporting to MP4? Also, what does buying the 25 plan mean in terms of features?

He refers to adjusting the encoder quality to 25 in x264, allowing fixed bitrate, average bitrate, variable bitrate, and quality-based encoding. This setting appears in OBS, though other programs may display it differently. The available options should remain consistent. The choice of frame rate is determined by your requirements; higher rates demand more data for similar visual quality. OBS also offers the ability to scale the image down, which can shrink file size but may affect clarity. Yes, you can restrict recording to specific areas or windows.
