EASER  I won't speak against AlphaOmega software, as I have used some of their products, and they do work. However, I would recommend checking out iShowU if you want inexpensive screen recording software. Their customer service has been superb, and the product offers a lot of nice features. At least do a comparison of that product with this one to make your decision.  
(Version 2.4)

ANONYMOUS  good idea...with fatal flaw....

does not record the audio portion! i guess their interpretation of the term "movies" harkens back to the day of silent films.

the program may be worthless, but at least it cost money....  
(Version 1.15)

JOHN  I forgot to mention:

The application's About, Preferences and other menu items are in the wrong place.

And to the person who posted about the documentation being included: yes, there is documentation, but I would hardly call it that.  
(Version 1.10)

JOHN  Nifty, but it will not allow me to select within the menu bar at all. In fact, when I try to, it just starts recording. The problem appears in which the way a selection is made - a large window overlays the screen in which you draw your selection.

Unfortuantely, the selection drawing window has a title-bar, which overlaps the menu bar and the selection must be in the content area of this window.

The interface is a little clunky: it'd be nice to be able to play with the recording area BEFORE hitting the record button in case I don't get the area just right.

It'd also be nice to have quick-keys to start/stop recording.

And lastly, the app should automatically hide itself when you start recording, so it doesn't appear in the final video.

Good for a version 1.10, but needs some work.  
(Version 1.10)

DOOMTUBE  i don't know what all these other reviews are talking about this app works fine. All the instructions are there and i've had no problems at all...... if only it were freeware!!!

totally brilliant.  
(Version 1.8)

ANONYMOUS  Wow this seemed half way decent till i could not select the right area. There is no cursor to select the area......how do you do it?  
(Version 1.8)

ANONYMOUS  as soon as i open it and hit "OK" to start recording.. all traces of the app dissapear, and when i try to trash it, it says "cannot trash because it is in use" yet no app is running in the finder  
(Version 1.8)

BLOCKHEAD44  "Unhandled exception error" is all I got. This is clearly alpha standart. I suggest the developers to delete this app until it becomes functional.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  Version 1.7 produces a non-functional .mov file. Wasted my time trying this.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  The version 1.7, released (but not listed on MacUpdate) corrects the "Unhandled exception errors" raised in version 1.6.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  If you still have a "Unhandled exception error" with version 1.6 you can send us an email to tell us in which circumstances, so that we can release a version 1.7 correcting the problem.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  Developer's claim is false, I am still getting a "Unhandled exception error" message. ALL reviews on another site about this app's last version (1.6) complain about that.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  This new release correct the "Unhandled excepion error" raised by version 1.5.  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  On my iBook G3 with OS X 10.3.2 I only get errors: it isn't working at all...  
(Version 1.4)

ANONYMOUS  Not really usable for anything, since the movies it records are all in double-speed and the cursor gets recorded as a cross-hair instead (+).  
(Version 1.2)
