HyperCam is a screencasting program. It captures the action from a Microsoft Windows screen and saves it to an AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) or WMV (Windows Media Video) or ASF (Advanced Systems Format) movie file. HyperCam will also record all sound output, and sound from the system microphone can also be recorded.
HyperCam is primarily intended for creating software presentations, tutorials, demonstrations, walkthroughs, and other various tasks the user wants to demonstrate.
The latest versions also capture overlay video and can re-record movies and video clips (e.g. recording videos playing in Windows Media Player, RealVideo, QuickTime, etc.). Beginning with version 3.0, HyperCam also includes a built-in editor for trimming and merging captured AVI,WMV,ASF files.
The unregistered version of HyperCam 3 applies a digital watermark to the upper-left corner of each recorded file and will ask the user to register on every startup. Base registration, which costs $39.95, will eliminate this watermark.
Hyperionics has now made HyperCam 2 a permanent free download, saying that it now has a free license for "worldwide use". Like many freeware utilities, HyperCam 2 offers three "value-added extras" during the installation process, with the option to deselect each of the three. Unfortunately, if you deselect all three, you are faced with a response that you must at least install the "Incredibar" toolbar, to continue and download Hypercam 2. Incredibar installs itself into Internet Explorer and also as an add-on to Firefox. It also adds something called "Incredibar Web Assistant" when you look at the newly installed programs in the Windows Control Panel. This is an alternative way of generating revenue but uninstalling the toolbar is not a "one-step" process.
