- Discontinued The project seems to be no longer developed. Last version, 2.7 r316, released in May 2015, can be still downloaded from SourceForge.
- Warning As described on VirusTotal comment (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1ddb733efb11769a05cc735d555e9a4df92c4cdf29fa47ea3864e57e67dcf884/analysis/1411383540/): if you download CamStudio from SourceForge.net, the VirusTotal results are 0/53. After installing this SF version, it immediately says that there is an update available. When the link is clicked, it takes you to camstudio.org, which has a zip file that, scanned with VirusTotal, gives you 15/53 result. So do NOT download and install the "update": it's a malware. Installer as of 09/22/2014.

Good, but ridiculously expensive

about ScreenFlow · Dec 2012 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

I don't know how Screenflow gets away with charging $100 for its application. I mean, it's a good app (probably the best recording app I've seen for Mac OS X), but $100 is just ridiculous. Maybe I'd pay $20 for it, but that would probably be my limit.

nunomegas · Dec 2012

Normally there are two reasons for a piece of Software to prevail with such an expensive price:
1- There are no other alternatives (either cheaper either free)
2- People are so used to it that don't risk to change since it could mean to teach everyone to the new application (this happens, for example, in Photoshop - there are free alternatives but designers are too much accustomed to it)
