Huge advantage over quicktime as a camera recorder!
This is a very simple but powerful recording software for Webcams. I am using it to make music videos with my guitar and a full-HD Logitech webcam C920 or 930. The advantage over quicktime, which can also record movies, is that it uses a H.264 encoder which results in very modest data rates at high quality. Quicktime can record HD only in uncompressed formats which consume very much disk-space. This little program can record in 1920x1080 at 30 fps at around 25 MB/s. Audio source can be selected either as internal mic or any external audio interface. Further advantage over Quicktime: It records Audio from a multichannel interface without converting all channeld to mono, such as Quicktime. Thanks a lot to the developer!
Here are my requests for further updates:
It would be nice to have a scalable window, in order to be able to check picture quality before recording.
The picture frame should adjust to the video format automatically.
It would be nice to be able to run several instances simultaneously, for recording different perspectives of the same scene.
The program should remember last settings.
I use the app together with another app called webcam settings, which allows to adjust the camera parameters such as focus, sharpness, color etc.
