• Malware Alert!

  watizvalid10/26/2014

  Pros

  This software has no pros that make up for the fact that downloading it will infect your computer with malware.

  Cons

  Upon downloading version 6 of this program, my browser was immediately infected with the trovi virus. I thought I was only downloading the BSR suite, which includes Screen Recorder 6, Movie Lab, and Movie Studio. Upon checking my control panel, however, I saw that a handful of unexpected programs were also added to my system.

  Summary

  Scanning reviews of all versions of this product here, I notice I am not the first to mention the malware/virus issue. I will report this to CNET, as I doubt that they intend to assist the spread of malware.

• BUNDLED w/ MIXI DJ BROWSER HIJACK!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!

  BigGamesJames8/3/2013

  Pros

  Honestly, none, b/c I would never use software that's bundled with Malware. I'll just buy Camtasia thank you.

  Cons

  This program is bundled with the DJ Mixi Browser Hijack that infects all browsers on your system and cannot be removed with a simple add/remove programs. I CANNOT believe this is allowed on CNET. This isn't a simple install where a free program asks to change your default search provider and you uncheck the box and that's the trade off for getting a free screen recorder. This is legit MALWARE that you need software to remove. Read more about the bundled MJ MIX browser Hijack and how to remove it here: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/mixi-dj-toolbar-virus/ This installs under the recommended settings with no mention of 3rd party software. It's honestly an abomination that this is allowed on C-net, b/c when I saw the download on the cnet site I immediately trusted it. Guess cnet has really gone downhill to allow this kind of garbage.

  Summary

  This software is bundled automatically with legit MALWARE. I cannot believe Cnet allows this on their site. Google "DJ Mixi Browser Hijack"

• Even its trial version is sufficient for me

  KristenWilbur4/5/2013

  Pros

  It has several zoom effects and the program is automatically set by default for my recording. It is nice to see that I can readjust the hotkeys if need be. The program is very practical and user friendly.

  Cons

  The trial version records with watermarks, but it is OK for me as I bought it after my trail period. It now records without logos.

  Summary

  Well done you guys! Thank you.

• do not EVERY upgrade to a new version after buying it

  stephen_hazel3/13/2013

  Pros

  this program is a great screen recorder.

  Cons

  if you pay for it, do not EVER upgrade to a newer version - ESPECIALLY don't upgrade to a newer free version. It installed for me, but failed to run. I contacted developer and told him his uninstall didn't work, and that the new install failed to run. He said "it's fine". I can't uninstall to go back to my previous PAID version. I can't install it on top of whatever I have. So although I paid for version 4 AND version 5, I can no longer used this program without a paid upgrade. That's LAME.

  Summary

  Developer can't fix his installer/uninstaller. Don't ever upgrade after you buy it thinking you won't pay for the new version. Because you WILL pay for the new version. Either that or your current install will be dead.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 22, 2013<p/>Actually, I went ahead and just bought the version 6. Developer noticed this and refunded my purchase. So everything is fixed. I'm all happy now. I highly recommend this program - it works great.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 22, 2013<p/>and I would =LIKE= to update the star rating for this thing, but when I do that download.com 404s on me - SHOISH !!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 22, 2013<p/>and I would =LIKE= to update the star rating for this thing, but when I do that download.com 404s on me - SHOISH !!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 22, 2013<p/>and I would =LIKE= to update the star rating for this thing, but when I do that download.com gives me their annoying 404 page - SHOISH !!

• Version 6 is superb!

  ColeDrawn2/5/2013

  I have been using BSR 6 for a long time and after I upgraded my computer to Windows 8, I was very pleased to see that it was compatible with the new OS. The support team is also wonderful and prompt in replying my upgrade requests.

  Cons

  I cannot use the program on Mac since they don't have a Mac version.

  Summary

  It is cheap and very useful!

• Deletes video after 20 minutes..

  TriXigT1/14/2013

  Pros

  Good recording quality and stuff.

  Cons

  It deletes your video after approx 20 minutes, the temporary recording video will secretly get deleted without notice while you record - this is due to the fact that BSR Recorder clears it temporary folder.... great!

  Summary

  Else than the con, the program is good.
