JetScreenRecorder1.00

There is no shortage of desktop recording utilities out there, some offering so many features that you don’t even know how to get started. If you’re looking for a simpler, open-source alternative, this app may be worth a try.JetScreenRecorder is a fairly rudimentary program that relies on FFmpeg and can help you capture desktop content in a couple of easy steps. It is certainly user-friendly, but it offers a very limited set of features.

Set things up and capture your desktop in no time

The installation process is remarkably straightforward, and it shouldn’t take more than a few seconds to configure everything before you are ready to record.Multiple video codecs are available for you to choose from, and you can also customize the bit rate and FPS, although only a limited number of bit rate presets are included.If your computer is equipped with multiple monitors, you should be pleased to learn that you can specify which of them should be included in the recording.

Needs quite a few improvements

It would have been great if the application were minimized automatically when a recording is started, and even better if it were possible to send it to the system tray.Most importantly however, you really should be able to start or stop capturing using hotkeys, so as to avoid including the application window in the recording, which will then have to be edited.

Simple desktop recording tool for undemanding users

Sadly, JetScreenRecorder is a very basic utility, and its user interface, while intuitive, features a plain, outdated design. The upside is that no instructions are required to get started.It is also worth keeping in mind that the application is not capable of capturing system audio or microphone input, so it may not be the best choice for gamers or those who wish to record tutorials.On the whole, JetScreenRecorder one of the more basic screen capture applications around, offering a very limited feature set. It can do the job, provided the functions it puts are your disposal are suitable for your needs.
