Cute Screen Recorder

Cute Screen Recorder is an application which allows you to capture the activity of your monitor in a simple manner. It can be easily used by individuals of any experience level.
If you're running Windows 7, then make sure to start Cute Screen Recorder with administrative privileges. Otherwise, it will pop up several errors during runtime.
The interface of the program is plain and simple to navigate through. So, you can capture the full screen or center, or just customize the settings by inputting margin values.
In addition, you can specify the output file type (MP4, SWF, FLV, WMV), enable Cute Screen Recorder to capture videos with audio, specify the output destination and modify settings when it comes to the video bit rate and frame rate, along with audio sample frequency rate and channels.
The lightweight tool uses a very low amount of system resources (which is barely noticeable), has a good response time and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. It can also guide you to a comprehensive online help file. However, you cannot use keyboard shortcuts or configure the program behavior (e.g. enable Cute Screen Recorder to automatically run at system startup).
What's more important is the fact that the image quality of the output videos is pretty poor (e.g. text is not distinctive in word processors). We strongly recommend you look for something more powerful than Cute Screen Recorder at the moment.
