“Perfect for customer support videos. The ability to record screen captures and send to users that are experiencing kind of an issue or need assistance helped us to provide better support to them. This free screen recording software is perfect for customer support videos and troubleshooting. It allows me to make short videos and share directly with the users without having to send the file. Just share the link.”
“We absolutely love how much ScreenREC has improved our internal workflow as well as communications with our customers. It works great on all OS platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux)”

“Real time-saver. When I tried Screen Rec, I realized that it uploads the video while you’re recording. I love that. That means I can record my screen, send the link immediately, then I can move on with my life. I can easily set time limits or view limits and passwords to control who can see my screen recordings.”

“This is for sure the best screen recorder for mac! It helped us improve communications within my software development team. In our world, very often, what you want to say requires more than just plain words which can be a huge pain. Through just a few clicks, Screenrec helped us fill this gap perfectly by not only capturing the screen but also uploading it on to their server. And on top of that, it generates a shareable link for instant sharing. So cool.”
Sound and video files have a large information volume.
To transfer such files via computer networks in standard digital formats high-speed communication lines are required throughput. High quality digital stereo audio requires a data transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps.
Digital video of the television standard requires a data transfer rate of about 240 Mbit/s to transmit images.
To reduce the volume of audio and video files without any noticeable loss of quality, special methods compression based on the removal of audio or video information not perceivable by humans.
Stream audio and video.
Streaming audio and video technologies have become widespread on the Internet. These technologies transfer audio and video files in parts to a buffer local computer, which makes it possible to stream them even when using a modem connection. Reducing the transmission speed of the channel can lead to temporary audio dropouts or skipped video frames.
Multimedia players are used to listen to streaming audio and watch streaming video. While playing a streaming media file, the user receives information about the data transfer rate and can adjust the playback quality.
There are quite a lot of radio and television stations that broadcast via the Internet. Web cameras are widely popular, installed in various parts of the world (on city streets, in museums, in nature reserves, etc.) and continuously transmitting images.

Work principles
To get started, launch the program and in its main window, click the “Mode” button.
After that select network adapter, which is used to access the Internet. For capture purposes, it is recommended to use the “ADA” mode. It intercepts all data packets that are sent to the device from the network. To automatically start capturing video when an online video is detected, check the “Auto Recording” box. If you want to start the operation manually, uncheck this box.
With the program active, try opening any online video. A window displaying downloads should appear next to it. It will indicate the beginning of the capture. When you navigate to other pages, files are added to the list and downloaded. To stop the capture, use the “Stop” button.
To record a specific file, enter its name and URL in the special fields of the interface and click the “Record” button.
WM Recorder is a convenient utility for recording streaming media content with support various types files. All data stored on it can be played in any player.
In theory, streaming audio (like any other streaming media) is content that can be viewed as it is downloaded. This differs from a regular audio file, which must first be downloaded in its entirety and only then can you listen to it.
In reality, they try to implement streaming media in such a way that it can only be listened to/watched, but not downloaded. This gives the technology a similarity to traditional television and radio broadcasts.
Online music services love streaming audio, and it's easy to see why. Such companies are always visible and they must be legal. Streaming technologies make it possible to offer consumers free content, but without downloading, that is, without changing ownership, which protects the service from accusations of piracy.
Many see streaming audio as the future of the music industry as a whole. Indeed, today a constant connection to the Internet is becoming the standard not only for stationary, but also for portable equipment. In such conditions, the difference between streaming and traditional audio ceases to be noticeable to the consumer. The industry, by switching users to streaming media, gets the opportunity to control what they listen to.
Streaming audio can be presented in a variety of formats. It is important that the visitor has a player application installed to play this type of content.
Most popular applications for playing streaming audio today are Adobe Flash, a new, progressive technology, and Real Media, an outdated but still in use technology. Windows Media is also used.
Adobe Flash dominates the market and its share is only increasing. According to Adobe, Adobe Flash Player is now installed on more than 99% of computers connected to the Internet.
Today, more music recommendation services offer free streaming audio to their members. It is served, first of all, in the form of Internet radio, that is, the choice of songs to play is carried out by the service itself. This differs from regular Internet radio in that when compiling a radio station’s playlist, the listener’s preferences are taken into account in one way or another. This service is called a “personal radio station.”
The popularity of using Internet radio in music recommendation services is no coincidence. The history of music radio programs in general goes back more than 90 years, and during that time they were the main source of new music for tens of millions of people.
The advent of the Internet and the spread of digital and then streaming audio gave this format a new birth. Against the backdrop of the degradation of traditional radio stations, especially in the United States, where often more advertising is broadcast than music, Internet radio offered an incomparable the best choice. Listening to it has become a fairly common activity on a PC; separate devices have already appeared that are focused exclusively on this service, for example, WiFi receivers.
There are several projects portable devices of this kind, primarily the American Slacker, although their popularity is still small compared to traditional FM or satellite radio receivers.
Personal Internet radio stations have become the next step in the development of music broadcasts. This is quite in the spirit of the notorious “Web 2.0” revolution - the individual user with his tastes and requests comes to the fore.
These tastes are taken into account in two ways when compiling a playlist. Firstly, the service has at its disposal a database of user preferences, compiled either by observing what the user listens to or by analyzing his requests. Different recommendation services use different criteria, but the goal is the same - to offer the listener new music that somehow correlates with his personal tastes.
In addition, the user is usually given some power over the playlist. In particular, it can block the playback of a particular song, just as we sometimes miss this feature in FM radio!
Another sign of the times in personal Internet radio is the social aspect. Many services will give you the opportunity to listen to the personal radio stations of other participants, moreover, they often simply encourage you to do this, informing you that there are people on the service with similar musical tastes.

It is also practiced to create group personal stations aimed at entire groups in which users of the service gather.
Individual services raised the idea of User Generated Content to new level, inviting users themselves to upload their existing music to their pages and thus create their own Internet radio stations. In addition to this service, it is often offered the opportunity to broadcast these stations in “large” in social networks: Myspace, Facebook.
FlashGot plugin.
There are a huge number of sites on which you can only watch or listen to videos and music, but, alas, there is no official download. There are also special programs and services that help you bypass this ban and still download your favorite video or audio file. The disadvantage of such “helpers” is that each of them works on a limited number of sites. For example, one of them will help you download a video from YouTube, but will be powerless to do it on Odnoklassniki. The extension presented in this article, called FlashGot, is universal in this regard. It will help you download embedded videos or audio from almost ANY site!
Please note that this is an extension for the Mozilla browser, which means that this method will only work in Mozilla.
So, let's go (naturally through Mozilla browser) to the FlashGot plugin developer service using the link and download it.
We start the installation of the FlashGot plugin.
Restart the browser.
All. The FlashGot plugin is installed and ready to go.
Now, if you need to download streaming video or audio from any site, then go to the page where it is located. Start watching or listening. After that, simultaneously press the Ctrl+F7 keys on the keyboard.
A window will open with downloads and select the folder where you want to save the downloaded file. Select the folder and start the download by clicking the “OK” button.
The download process will begin.
After this, you can stop watching/listening and close the page, but the browser itself cannot be closed until the download is complete!
By the way, I managed to download a video using this method even from the RuTube video hosting service, which has recently become almost impossible to do with other programs and services “tailored” for this purpose.
Yes, when downloading, the browser cache gets heavily clogged. Don’t forget to clean it periodically (ideally, after each boot).
