My best friend Trish just sent me this post and i had to say keep am coming! It not that often that I come across interesting topic and great writing all in one post. IMO it is really a quality one!

I received a instal file direct through my E-mail from Solveig Multimedia the same file that is offered on http://www.solveigmm.com the exact same executable file that was packaged in the GAOTD file.

However this program from Solveig was not done via the normal GAOTD method by downloading the installer & unzipping the Setup program then having to wait while the GAOTD setup program contacts GAOTD before it will instal.

This one I was sent, was called Resume.exe A bit strange I thought it was 1 11MB exe file in a folder with a half dozen other various sized executable files all under 1 MB with some dll files.

Unlike the GAOTD program, This one resumed with the installation where the GAOTD file had failed. It installed flawlessly overwriting & replacing the corrupted exe, dll files from the previous failed installation attempts.

This time it proceeded to instal & to register with the GAOTD serial with ease

I have been recording a video for the past couple of hours for adding to the net later this week. Once I finish editing it. I will be editing it with the Hypercam editing tools this should prove to interesting..

This new hypercam version 3.2 is fantastic.

I love that it has dual monitor support. None of my previous screen capture programs could record off of both of my monitors it would only record of the primary one. This one will record of the secondary one just as easily as the primary.

I can even record files split across 2 or even 3 monitors none of my screen recorder programs before this one could. this one can & it does it with ease.

I can not believe all the great Encoding choices I have & so many choices of locations where I can record to, including directly to cd or dvd..

Two thumbs up

This is a positive keeper. There is a very good chance when my finances permit that this one will be bought and paid for. I love it.. Good bye camtasia good bye screen recorder and can you say hello delete bin to that finicky limited recording & encoding choice program kahlown.

I am pleased to say hello to my new permanent replacement screen capture program Hypercam 3.2 it will forever be the default program I use from this day forward.

#114, Rick Frog: one of the earlier comments said that HyperCam 2 is now free, so you may want to find and download it.

Excellent. Would suggest:
1) Be able to record audio only or have option to save video and audio separately
2) Output format should include mp4/m4v.. to run on ipad, iphone and Android devices,

I received a number of error messages & a failure to install of the Hypercam 3 product from Yesterdays GAOTD. It failed to instal or register and it then rolled back after it had tried to instal some specific DLL files, ones that were not able to be installed. Thus it corrupted the instal causing it to fail.

I was wondering how do I go about fixing the errors so that I can actually instal & register the product.. I tried multiple times to install the product I even went to far as to uninstall the previous GAOTD of this Hypercam product & then I tried to reinstalled it.

I even tried to instal it by giving special permissions to the setup files to pass through my firewall with my antivirus temporarily disabled (something I am loath to do) but even with that done the installation still failed

I now do not even have the previous version of Hypercam from Giveaway of the day because this version of hyper-cam seems to be broken which it is probably fine it just does not seem to like my computer. For some reason it is fighting my Pc every-step of the way.

Now because of this failed attempt to instal a new version =( I am temporarily with out a decent screen recording software for when I make youtube videos of the games I play.. Considering bandicam broke after 3 weeks of working it threw back a unregistered notice.

So I do not even have bandicam to play around with anymore. I seem to be having bad luck with screen recording software. Though kahlown seems to be working fine. I just find kahlown to not be that great of a product for making screen capture videos it is more trouble than it is worth.

Anyways, These are the specific errors I received while trying to install this new version of hypercam.
1 gdiplus.dll failure
2 Libversions.dll failure
3 mclick.dll failure
4 msvcp71.dll failure
5 SMM_HCEditor.exe Failure
6. Smm_HyperCam.exe failure
7 Smm_OverLayHook.dll failure

MY PC System is Windows XP Pro Vr 2002 Service pack 3. using Comodo Firewall & Antivirus.

I took a number of screen shots if you all wish me to post them I can do so.

I also have a managed to make a rather poor screen video capture of the failed instal using the excellent screen camera program.

I can also post that with a link for you to look at if you wish

a rather sad & disappointed tester

The reason I am sad & disappointed is because I was really looking forward to trying out this new version of the Hypercam software. Which has been one of my favorite programs for the past year. Ever since it was last given away on GAOTD.

Can't install program running windows 7 64 tried several times it even tried to get me to purchase software on trial pay cant evaluate what you cant run give this the thumbs down Obviously iam not the only 1 with this problem seems others running windows 7 are having problems too. I went to site & this is suppose to be new there was a previous version2 seems that the developer should have updated to run on windows as don't see why it would make sense to update a software thats not compatible with what most are running on now. Thumbs Down! to this

It Works Fine For Me On Win7 32.
Thanx ;)

The program crashed repeatedly, never getting beyond the opening credits. I re-installed 3 times & attempted to open from shortcuts and from the Program Files menu. All failed. Why???

It Works Fine For Me On Win7 32bit.
Thanx ;)

I forgot to mention, for those having the program crash at launch:

On my Vista computer this was happening, oddly it ran fine if launched directly from its program folder.

This did not occur on my Windows 7 computer, only on the Vista.

Every time, when launched from the shortcut it would crash, I made a new shortcut and tested it, this crashed also.

Every time it was launched from the program folder it ran reliably.

I do not know what would cause such an issue, hopefully this will help.

Followed the instructions of #88. The license would not copy and paste. Instead, I copied into a Notepad document and saved it using the "Read Lic. from File" option. That seems to have worked as "Evaluation" disappeared from the program's top bar.

Tried to test but must be doing something wrong. When I try to select Region, my whole screen goes black. Same for trying to select a window. Sounds records very well.

The homepage has a solution to this problem, but it's for ZoneAlarm.

I use something called PrevX for my antivirus. Can anyone help me solve this?

Not Very Good AT aLL.Could not get audio to record on vista 32bit system. no matter what way i tried to do it,run as admin than record,check audio box than record,un-check audio record box in settings and try again...same result.With re-start after installed than record screen with audio, ect.ect. ect. Other screen and sound recorders seem to do a better job than today's Giveaway.Had to uninstall after 3 hours of trying to make program work properly. Thanks Anyways

Great program, recorded a game play that others (including playclaw and bandicam) had failed.

Could clean up the gui a little, the interface looks busy, and it can be hard to find what you are looking for within the settings and options because of this.

I tried the lower quality settings to test its output.
The low quality output resulted in better video than anothers program I had set to medium quality.
I am still testing its higher quality settings, all is great so far.

All in all, a Keeper.
Thanks to GOTD and the Dev's for this program, it looks so far that it will be very useful and usable.

Runs perfectly on my:

Win7 64-bit Home premium

Installed on Windows 7 64-bit. Activated perfectly, Don (comment #4), I don't know if anyone already mentioned this to you but you might've forgotten to get the license key from the GAOTD registraton application. Loving this program so far, much better than BSR Screen Recorder (which is another free option for those of you who don't like this)

#88 is the best help to register, thanks. Setup audio and recorded in a virtual world. click bang, easy. I am enamored of Bandicam from a while back but this seems fine as well. Thanks

All went well for my Win7 64 installation but my friend on Vista could not get it. Appalling how much trouble it seems for so many. I've never seen this before. It's just luck if it works for you.

Also, if you try to re-install, (say you want to write down the steps for a friend), one gets a warning that the first copy will be uninstalled. There is no way to cancel the re-install. Clicking 'cancel' or the red x is the same as clicking 'OK'. Now you are forced to go thru the uninstall/restart/ then reinstall. A simple cancel request should stop the action.

Forgot. Windows 7.

This is an absolute nightmare. I accidently clicked on record, and no mattere how many times I uninstall/reinstall (both through program and through control panel-install/uninstall), it still comes back with the short clip I did, so the program is not uninstalling completely. I finally found a drop down option to register (no space to enter key or anything) and every time I select it, the program says there is a problem and it has to close. This is one extremely unstable and buggy program. Wasted 3/4 of an hour on this. Am giving up and uninstalling - for good.

Installed and reg. OK.. but thats it...I get an error trying to record.."cant make microsoft 1" and in options if I try to change to another compressor I get another error..."The application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way" Sooo, I cant use this at all. Whats the deal with that, seems to be alot of problems with this one..oh well , would of liked to have this one.

Looks like an uninstall here.

Very counterintuitive registration process; was unable to record sound with video first few times, decided will go back to it later. If the audio capture is on par with the video capture, this could be a good piece of software. Need to add some user-friendly help, and need to correct their spelling so it doesn't look like some former Soviet satellite country refugee was their tech writer.

Thank you Dmitry, CEO, Solveig Multimedia,
For your courteous welcome message today and the chance to try this worthwhile program.
I am trying to find a means of saving BBC TV iPlayer to play on a big screen TV, so I need to make the saving as an .avi file.
I wonder if I have just found the perfect program in HyperCam 3?
Hmmm... very exciting...

Program installed fine but wouldn't run. Just hung. I de-installed and tried again, same result. I opened up task manager to see what was going on and the task apparantly ran few a few seconds then just switched itself off. Shame, I was looking fwd to using it. I'm using Win 7.

This is an excellent program. I was using the free version 2 but this one is a lot better. the free version would only record sound from the microphone. This one lets you record right from the stereo mixer and the sound format options work a lot better. The video codec options also work better and it records a lot smoother. All you have to to register it is click enter license now after clicking on Register. Then paste in the provided license key and you're good to go. Thank you very much GAOTD.

Not able to get program registered, so uninstalled it.

Installed fine but refuses to run the program, even as Administrator - Win7 x64.

If I can't even run it, it's a big thumbs down. Sorry.

Installed late last night, had to regiser it by manually pasting the code (by the way, you have to click on the box on the bottom to enter it, you can't use the code in the first form that pops up). Worked without a single hiccup on a Win7 Pro SP1 64 bit machine. I did crank it up to 30fps and it started to run a little sluggish while capturing a video that was playing back, but it was fullscreen 1920 and had a lot going on. I figure that if it can do that then 99% of 'real' screen capture will be more than fine.

Between yesterday and today there have been two fantastic GOTD offerings!

Wasn't sure whether to load this or not after reading the comments, but did anyways because I needed a program like this. Installed and registered fine on my Win7 / 64. I didn't have any of the install problems posted by others, but it was good information posted on clicking on the middle registration button. That was helpful. (even after reading the ReadMe text file.)

I checked out the Options tab and felt like this program had a good selection. I also like the Recent Records section. Nice! So far, this program looks pretty good to me! Sorry I couldn't test out the whole program yet to give more feedback. Wish I had more time. Thanks GOTD and Solveig!

How to activate this software:
1. Find "Register" button at bottom-left. Depending on your screen resolution, you may need to drag the HyperCam windows upward.
2. Click this button. You'll see few text fields where you can't write anything. Actually, these are not text fields.
3. Click "Enter License Now" button at bottom-middle. Paste license key here & click OK.
That's Done.
Mind it, there's no need to enter your name!

I can't enter any details in the registration, it just won't accept key strokes or a C&P of the ginormous registration key. Also, the GUI sits too high on my screen so I cannot see the headings - click blindly on something and get the recording parameter thingy and there's no way to get out of it except via Task Mgr.

I could not record the audio, even though I checked the box to record sound. Gave up. Uninstalled.

...actually I finally can record screen WITH sound now.

sterio mix needed a driver installed, then option properties for "record sound" appeared.

this youtube tutotial helped
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIeceMjEhcU.

Downloaded and installed fine - Windowx XP 64 bit (professional). Will not activate. That includes selecting "Enter license now..." from the middle choice on the licensing window, and then then pasting the serial number in the resulting window. Tried relogging on as adminstrator - no joy. Tried Safe Mode - clicked for full screen as the register button was invisible, and the program locked up.

Sadly this crashed every time I tried to open it. Too bad, it looked like a good one.

For those recommending camstudio as a free alternative, the sound doesn't work on win 7x64. I've been looking for another free alternative and there is none that I've found.

Downloaded, installed, registered and made a recording (2 of them) on Win XP Pro Sp3 Quad Core and no problems. This is a very nice recording software program. I just made two recordings of the NASA interview briefing with our returning Atlantis crew. Picture fantastic and the sound great. All of this was done without going to the options, help etc. Thank you so much for this offering. It was so simple as I was really moving to catch the interview of the astronauts. Hope others can fix their problems so that they may enjoy this offering. Have a good day everyone.

me again, again...

the crazy, hypercam3 red square did record that video but without sound.

tried enabling "record sound" in options but the option properties ("device", "source" etc) are greyed out.

guess it's ok but makes me nervous (hyper?), seems buggy.

OK, figured the sound issue out. Somehow my sound card got turned off. Now how to save in the video formats you want. There is a little video picture loss, but a great deal like in some others I've tried. Think I'll keep this for awhile. Thanks again!!

Good Program
Installed OK
BUT When I record then play it back, it plays but its upside down? how can I correct it?

I have been using gaotd for a long time and lately I can not run the exe file and get a message that the file is being used or today it said it was corrupted ...anybody able to help me ??

@56 is my earlier comment. I was installing on an external hard drive. Gave it one more try on the C drive and didn't get any errors.

Did anyone successfully install on an external drive?

Thanks... but End results very pixelated... and won't record sound in spite of proper settings.???
I'll stick w/ Bandicam... easier 2 use & better results.
Sorry.

me again...

even though indicated "trust this program yadda yadda" with online armour, was finally able to install because disabled online armour...?

however!...

doesn't work properly, tried to record an area where a video was playing and this crazy ("hyper", as in HYPERcam!!!???) red square is going berzerk on my screen even as I write this...

can't even access the program now, don't know...

will try playing around with, doesn't bode well though at this point.

WoW- excellent offer! This software has everything I need!
BTW- I am familiar with a lot of software of Solveig Multimedia- all of their software is just... excelent!
Thanks, GAOD & Solveig Multimedia!

To download and test this software requires that you promise to buy something else before you can get it. Give me a good piece of software for 15 days and if it is good I will but it. It is the only way I purchase programs.

Had no trouble downloading or installing. However cannot click the option to record sound, nor does it give you the option on how you want to save the vid you record. So WMP and even VLC players couldn't playback the sample video I tried to record off Hulu. So basically is not a program I'd use again. Thanks anyway always love trying stuff from GOTD site!!

No trouble installing on XP SP3. A little trouble with the registration but managed to figure it out. Had a few problems trying to figure out the interface, recording and so on. Will stick with BandiCam. Thanks any way for the opportunity to try it out.

Why does the title bar say v3.2 but its help about says v3.1.1107.15?

would love to try the program. downloaded and tried to install but nothing happens. any ideas?

on windows 7 64 bit can't install (downloaded several times and tried installing each newly downloaded setup file several times each)...

no luck...

can't install

(administrator rights fine, cleaned registry, rebooted...?)

shame :-(
