Default Good Screen Recoder (video) for WinXP

writes:
Hi,

I was looking for an ap for WinXP to record the video from the screen on
my PC. I downloaded "MOVAVI Screen Recorder" V9 for Windows (includes
WinXP), but after installing, I could not get it to "run".

On one PC, I saw a message that it could not locate entry point of a
certain (forgot to write name) .DLL. I installed it on another PC. After
installing, when I tried to launch it, I saw a message that it could not
"initialize"!!!

Does anyone know of a good WinXP video recorder for the screen?

Thank You in advance, John

What are you wanting to do? If it's copy playing videos, I have no
suggestions. If you just want to record the screen, or part of it, for
making tutorials on how to use software (or show some dumb company how
their website _actually_ works [or doesn't]), then I've found this
reasonable:

When I installed it on my old XP machine, with the default settings, it
recorded at about 1 frame per second, though with acceptable audio (so
OK for tutorial); I think I was able to make it go faster. I see from
the above page that it still claims to work on XP.

I never paid anything for it; I don't know if it's still free, or never
was other than a trial, or is but for private use only.

I've no idea how it compared to others; it did what I wanted, so I never
looked at others.

No, I haven't changed my mind - I'm perfectly happy with the one I have, thank you.
