Ashampoo Snap 11 for Windows

How do you get video capture to work?. I purchased this software so i could make personal music compilations by recording my favourite artists from obscure rare dvd's... however Ashampoo Snap 4 wont record anything from my pc dvd player or youtube files, thought maybe my copy was faulty, so uninstalled it then reinstalled it... but to no avail... looked at help/faq's however just says if you have difficulty capturing video then try another codec... tried all, and still no joy??? ...anyone got any tips, as would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Pros: Capture's still screenshots no probs, but why bother, when you can do this same function by using the print screen tab and saving to paint... which is free. Cons: Video capture wont work, tried every codec setting available, but just constant black void screens... totally frustrating.

Snap is a Snap. I've used several screen capture programs and like Snap the best of them all. Once I configured it to me my needs, I find it very easy to use. I especially appreciate having the ability to capture video and have used it to create tutorials in my work. Pros: Ease of UseThe fact that hides in the background until neededThe variety of options available Cons: It would be helpful to be able to capture longer video in smaller file sizes - or to have options as to which codec to use to capture video.

moving in the right direction. the product is reasonable but so far I have not been able to create a really good professional demonstration. The finished product has very low graphics, and if you are trying to make an Excel demo the figures and text are quite out of focus quite disappointed with this really. But I will continue with the software to see if it can overcome the poor graphics etc of the finished article. Pros: quite easy to use when you get your head round it Cons: poor graphics especially text and numbers.

an absolute gem. fantastic. It's easy to use,does everything and more than iwant it to. IT's just simply Ashampoolecious,like all Ashampoo software. Thanks Ashampoo for more great software. Pros: It's just so easy to use with its step by step tutorials. Cons: none

A most favoured product. One of my better purchases!. This is the first product of this nature that I've owned and I love it! I didn't know such tools were available until Ashampoo introduced me to it. It's so very useful and would have saved me much time and effort if I'd had it in the past. Now it gets frequent use for many purposes. In fact, it's difficult to think of all of the uses it might have; they just keep popping up day by day. Many thanks to Ashampoo for this simple, user-friendly and inexpensive product. Pros: Easy to install.Simple display.Very easy to use (and I'm over 60). It's just there, ready to go!No stability problems so far.A myriad uses. Cons: I have a little trouble deciding where the tool bar is likely to be out of the way most of the time. It's really a matter of getting used to having it there, on demand. However, Snap 3 can be closed and reopened as required... in seconds.

Excellent Screen Capture Tool. I starting using the program with version 2. I am very pleased with how I can capture and manipulate screen shots. Much better than simply doing screen shots with Windows only. Pros: Excellent price, easy to use, screen shots can be made to order Cons: None that I know of.
