Can anyone tell me why the screen recording function produces such awful results? The video is extremely pixelated, sometimes making it impossible to read text. I have tried altering the settings to make sure the video looks the best it possibly can (such as 2000kbps, 60fps, Quality Priority, format doesn't seem to matter), but those don't work. I am still left with a garbage video.

But other than that, the installation was nice and easy, which is a major plus on this website, registration was not difficult by any means, and it looks very promising.

Perfectly smooth install on Windows 10.
Seems to work great, but how to limit the automatic recording?
For instance, when tried on this url :
http://www.france3.fr/emission/meteo/diffusion-du-20-08-2016-18h40
it records 21 versions of the video, in different resolutions:
256x144 : 4 times
320x180 : 6 times
512x288 : 4 times
704x396 : 6 times
1024x576: 1 time
Is there some setting that can avoid this?

Installed (on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit), registered and then immediately used for some YouTube downloads without any problems whatsoever. A very good product, thanks Apowersoft and GOTD!

Sadly, can't get it working on Vista 64. Oh, well.

It can filter by media type, but it would helpful if it could also filter by URL, so I can configure it not to pick up advertisements.

By the way, the suggestion form does not work because of "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key" in the reCAPTCHA

May have been nice to try but after installing I get an error message too large to post here as copy paste won't work but it appears to be the same issue others are having
A procedure imported by CefSharp.Core.Dll failed to load

i tried to run the 'setup' file and i get this error
-' windows cannot complete the extraction. the destination file could not be created'- i'm using windows vista. am i missing something here?

All is well, I was having an error message with registration .. walked away for a few min. and realized I was putting in my home address and not giveawayoftheday email. Too many hours on the machine today apparently as the "little" things are tripping me up!

The downloading of Hulu and Netflix content is a total lie. The built-in browser can't even load DRM content to detect it.

Thank you for this program. Installed fast and easy in Win7.1 64 bit. I have a free one for YouTube videos, but they have stopped working in the past and have to be re-installed. This one is a nice, easy to use and does what I want it to. Great for beginners and those who want a no fuss downloading.

After reading the comments first, I downloaded, installed and registered quite easily on the first try. My better half could not seem to figure out how to do the same process without an intense amount of frustration, so apparently it varies from user to user whether the download of any GAOTD goes smoothly. Eventually he got it registered with some coaching. it took him 15 minutes to download and me only a minute, but he has a computer connected to an institution, so it depends on individual set ups.

I agree with other commenters that some kind of manual or help tips would be a great asset so developers please take note. I don't want to send a ticket to your help desk just to figure out how to do basic operations. nevertheless I pretty quickly downloaded a much coveted french album from the 70s from You Tube that I couldn't download last night with a browser downloader because of the great mystery of add ons working a couple of times then not. Hooray! Next I converted it to MP4 which took about 15 mins (but the album was over an hour long). Success!

I like this program - it downloads media almost instantly and seems to have a lot of options such as editing which I haven't even looked at.

Thanks GAOTD and developers for a strong, useful program right on time, just what I was looking for. Recommended.

I cant put in the registration number into the software
Spent 15 minutes reading comments that dont give an answer to the problem
I sent my email as instructed in the "read me" notepad, and I copied the registration code into the email I sent them.
But now what?
Do I get another email?
Do I now have to enter a new "code"?
This is very unclear and confusing
What do i do now?

Wow this is the best streaming video recorder I have come across. Super easy to install and went to Youtube and was able to record a 20 minutes concert in less than a minute. No issues and video was awesome. Having tried a bunch of downloaders they were tough to use. With this program, just copy the URL, paste into the program ( either click the URL or Ctrl V and it's done. Try it you won't be sorry.

Also,same question as several previous commenters-Does this mess with the Default device settings (RealTek?????)usually one has to create a Restore Point prior to installing the software,and then do a System Restore,just to eliminate all the accompanying headaches that this entails....and that can be a REAL P.I.T.A...(and I wish you would go back to the numbered comment system,too,BTW...)

They gave the same software in April of this year, I used it only once and was registered correctly, however, 3 weeks later turned into trial version by itself.

I had high hopes that this would work

1. Tried to download from CBC, but it failed miserably.

2. Why does it say that there is a time limitation AFTER you download it?

Sorry not useful for me... Im deleting it.

It still will not run on XP Pro sp3, same error as stated before.

Hello,

Apowersoft Streaming Video Recorder is a nice piece of software but i have a big problem for the use of it.

I use a firewall (Tinywall) and if i don't open it to everything, no way to download vidéo (Red alert and no downloading 0 % process).

So i attributed rights to
- Streaming Video Recorder 6.exe
then i add
- Apowersoft.Browser.exe

And i try others adds with exe (and some dll) available in Program Files Ashampoo repertory.

No results except if i lock Tinywall off.

So, please, what can i do ?.

What are Ashampoo files and Windows files necessary for Firewall rules ?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.

Tom

This looks promising but I can't figure out how to use it. We again have a new look UI rather than simple menus. The entries don't have tool tips so I have no idea what 'Detect' means for example.

A trip to the publisher's site had a support / manual page. There is no entry for this product. So no help file. No listing for this product at the Web site and no way to use it that I can figure out.

A waste of my time. I'm glad I didn't retail this thing. I'd move for a refund.

Installed this software, but I can't find anywhere to put in the registration info. Can you spell it out for me, I've looked everywhere I can think of, can't figure it out.

Another commenter said:

"Why didn't anyone comment on the 5 minute max record time, plus whatever other restriction was mentioned in the pop-up box AFTER installation? I'm deleting it."

So, is the recording time limited to 5 minutes, or what??

The license code is invalid or does not match this version

> liz lees
Just a suggestion liz but you may have made the same mistake as I did and entered your personal email address iso the GOTD version in the registration dialogue.
>APowersoft
However, haven't been able to rectify this as AVG has flagged up a Personal Identity problem with the file rtmpsrv.exe residing in the Apowersoft directory. I am aware that this file can be used in the detection of rtmp streams but is it safe? Anyone else had this identified by their virus checker?

I've been looking for a program such as this for so very long. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the program that I was hoping for. I would like a streaming program that can capture both audio and visual streams at a specific time and duration. I have come close in my quest, but always finding the software lacking 1 or 2 items. Thank you for letting me try your software.

Does this record Skype video also?

Tried past versions and can confirm those hijack your Realtek audio driver and replace with their own buggy one.
Warning - this affects your other software.
The number of video codecs was limited. You cannot add new ones of your own to use with this software.
The video codecs included with the software were lousy.
Although the rep says they have fixed the audio driver hijack problem; will not take the risk with the new version.
Users can check out a FREE and PORTABLE alternative.

Why didn't anyone comment on the 5 minute max record time, plus whatever other restriction was mentioned in the pop-up box AFTER installation? I'm deleting it.

Couldn't install it in XP but had no difficulty doing so and registering in Windows 7.

Looks like he was possibly downloading from the BBC Iplayer but not really sure, but then not really sure of anything when I'm in Windows 7. I really do hate being out of XP is like being in a comfortable old shoe.
Any help appreciated.

Quite a number of people have complained that the program will probably become unregistered quite quickly.
It would be nice if the developers would comment on this.

Just to add that AVG detects rtmpsrv.exe threat when the "Detect" Icon is clicked on.

Problem with AVG Threat "General behavioral detection" - Object name rtmpsrv.exe.

Assuming this a false positive, I have allowed Exception - "Threat will not be removed".

Please comment on cause and confirm I decided correctly?

Dear Apowersoft, would this software expire after few weeks like the one you gave us in April 2016?
Why did it expire after it said registered?

Instructed to close my "Networx" app during setup. Afterward, installed and registered without problems on Windows 10 64 bit using the info as given in "Read Me".

This is my sixth "Apowersoft program. They're all good. Love "Phone Manager". I used it yesterday to add some new sounds to my phone "Notifications" folder. Not possible otherwise on my particular phone. Even though I have other video converters/downloaders, I use my "Apowersoft" applications most.

Program installs OK but will not let me enter the registration number or my email address. Waste of time.

Has anyone tried this on Netflix or Hulu?

I rarely give kudos to giveaway of the day downloads. However, this team has put together a beautiful product. It helped me on a vimeo project this morning already...fastest download I have ever experienced. Thumbs up from Wisconsin.

I bought this earlier this year, version 5, and it worked well, though would not update to version 6. I therefore download this version 6 without deleting my version 5 (pro), and the new version installed fine, and on keying in the GOTD email and serial key, it has registered to me, (Brian).
I am not complaining as it is a good program, but strange how it wolf not update version 5.
Well recommended, the recording quality is very good in my opinion, and seldom will not download a video, though I do not try to record stuff I should not.
Nice to have the latest version, so thanks to GOTD and Apowersoft

Thanks for this program... Is it any timelimit for how long after I can reinstall it and active it again and can I reinstall it on another computer too? And what are diffrent between this and a screenrecorder?

Love that the Support is so responsive. Will give this a try. Thanks!

I've been using v5 for some time. Best of all streaming capture programs I've tried. When all else fails, screen capture is there. I'm curious to see how v6 is.

Installed OK on W10 64 bit.

Started with few simple copy and paste downloads from youtube and as soon as you paste the download and conversion happens automatically and the outputted files are encoded very quickly

If you are copying a Youtube video that is part of a playlist then it automatically asks you if you would like to add any others and you can select individually or pick the select all button.

Went to various other sites and turned on detection and found that it worked well on some sites.

Decided to try it on iPlayer but not surprisingly would not detect any video streams.

I have to say that after just 10 minutes play it was easily worth the download and whilst I can't give a 100% thumbs up in terms of value form money at this point, based upon the fact that some of their other screen capture and screen recording offerings work just about perfectly, I have high hopes for this.

Apowersoft do seem to be a vendor that does produce consistently good programs, so that has to be a bonus to people that would think about parting with their money, especially with the wide choice of offerings out there.

getting worse after updates. can't auto detect and download direct from browser.

i tried this is XP and it shows this error:
https://s20.postimg.org/ihmuh9s0t/error.jpg
Havn't tried this Win7, will do soon. But what about the error in Winxp 32bit.
Is there a fix.

Cannot download as it says "required privilege is not held by the client".

Is the screen recording function 1. A screen shot records or 2. Records a video of screen - say for demo of a software.

Hi everybody. :)

The "Streaming Video Recorder" webpage needs to be updated:
- system requirements are missing; i.e., what windows versions could run the software?
- windows 8.1 and 10 aren't even mentioned in the "what's new" section.

Given the previous comments and the "what's new", it seems this doesn't work in windows xp, windows vista, windows 8.1 and windows 10.

This should mean it works on windows (I could have skipped some versions):
3.1

98

Does this software capture streams from Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon for replay?

Works well as a YouTube downloader for resolutions higher than you're usually allowed to download (just the first thing I tried), so thumbs up and thanks to APowerSoft!

Just a passing minor bug report (not a negative worth noting). When I changed the Download folder (Win10Pro) I used the "Make New Folder" button to make a folder called "ApowersoftStreamingVideoRecorder" however the program used "New Folder" instead, which doesn't exist as the rename did happen. Okay I tried this a second time and I see what's going on, if you type the name over "New Folder" and click OK it renames the folder but uses "New Folder" in the program (although it no longer exists), if you hit return on the rename and then click OK it's fine. This probably needs fixing but isn't a big thing.

Carrying on it that vein: do note a lot of the English strings in the Convert Settings dialogue are truncated (specifically the first three check-boxes).

Finally after eight downloads (all successful) I find I have the cache folders - in {download dir}\cache\{file name} - for two of them left behind, even after exiting the program (containing two temp files each, presumably video+audio). Worth checking if you download big files as could eat a lot of disk space over time.

You are right, Vista not supported. Gotta question why?
