The Easiest Trick to Record your Computer Screen

Posted: 23 May 2011 12:19 AM PDT

ScreenR is a web-based screen recorder that enables you to capture your computer screen as video without any install or download. Steps involved are-

1. Go to screenr.com
2. Launch the screen recorder to capture the computer screen (upto 5 min).
3. Login to publish the video online which is available for download.

But, the above process includes uploading of the processed video and downloading the same to your local computer. Can we have a way to save time and bandwidth by skipping step #3 and still acheiving the screencast? Yes, you can!

Once you have done with the recording, login to publish, give a dummy description and click the publish button. Here is the trick -

while the video is being published, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\Screenr folder and see if there is a file called screenr.mp4.ns whose file size keeps on changing. Keep refreshing the folder till screenr.mp4.ns automatically gets renamed to screenr.mp4, copy it to another folder, cancel publishing and delete screencast.

The copied file is the required screencast video which you are looking for, now available with you hassle-free of publishing and download; thus saving time and bandwidth. This trick is also helpful if the screencast is for personal use and you don't want to share it publicly.

Now, someone try this trick on mac/linux and let me know the respective folders to retrieve the screencast locally.
