Save the Last Minutes
To solve a problem, you
need to understand what
caused it. When
you’re debugging
software (or working
with technical support),
you often need to know
exactly what actions you
took just before the
problem happened. My Screen Recorder Pro can help. By using
the “Save last x minutes
of screen recordings”
feature, you can have
the program constantly
watching and recording
everything on your
screen, and keeping only
the last few minutes.
Then when something out
of the ordinary occurs,
a review of the
recording can show you
exactly what happened.
You can even pause the
playback, so you can
read those messages that
just flew by.
It’s easy to set up.
Just start My Screen
Recorder Pro, and click
on the
Settings button. Under the
General tab,
check the
Save last x
minutes of screen
recordings option
and choose a number of
minutes to save.
The default number is 10
minutes. It can be
as low as 1 minute, or
as high as 1440 (24
hours).
Why use this system?
Well, suppose you left
the program recording
continuously without
using
Save last
minutes. You
could still use My
Screen Recorder Pro’s
Split File command
to cut off the last 10
minutes after you
stopped recording,
right? Well, yes,
but recording for hours
or days can take up many
gigabytes of storage
space, depending on the
settings you use.
With
Save last
minutes turned on,
the program only keeps a
very limited duration of
recording stored at any
time, so it saves a lot
of disk space. The
proper duration of
recording is split-off
automatically when you
stop recording.
Bug-detection becomes
easy using this feature.
Suppose an error occurs
while you are writing a
program. You are
working and re-working
to figure out and solve
the problem. If
you want to know exactly
what actions you perform
are causing a problem,
you could save up to the
last 30 minutes,
depending on the details
of your situation.
The advantage is that
only that duration when
the problem arises would
be saved thus keeping
the screen recording
short and precise.
Suggestion: In this
situation it probably
isn’t necessary to
record sound.
Leaving out the sound
helps you to save disk
space. Just
turn off the audio
recording when you
start the recording
process.
Lots of people watch a
continuous video feed on
their computers.
Traders often watch a
financial news station.
Many people watch a
24-hour news channel.
If something important
happens, you may want to
“look back” and see the
beginning of the story
and if it is really
important, you may want
to save the recording.
With the Record Last
Minutes feature, you
always have the last 30
minutes (or whatever
duration you choose)
available for review and
permanent recording
readily available.
My Screen Recorder Pro’s
Save last minutes feature lets you record
at all times, without
wasting space on your
hard drive, and lets you
easily keep only the
recordings of important
events. You are
saved of the trouble of
editing out and removing
unnecessary details that
are absolutely
irrelevant. The
people who view the
recording do not get
distracted and the
recording duration is
removed considerably.
This amounts to saving
on the time and other
resources required to
play, save, view and
distribute your screen
recordings!
