  My Screen Recorder Pro v2.67
   
   
  Automate Screen Recordings
   
     
  My Screen Recorder Pro is an application designed to help create presentation material or creating an audio-visual backup of activities performed on a PC for future reference as well as distribution.  Its user interface lets you create screen recordings, convert files and record audio in unobtrusively, quickly and easily.  But the jewel in its crown is automation of recording, conversion and publishing tasks.  It performs the tasks you specify, on its own, without your having to launch the application and manually begin the process.  In this article, we will briefly discuss the various automation features of My Screen Recorder Pro.  
     
  There are two ways to automate screen recording: Schedule Recording and Command Line Parameters.  
     
  Schedule Recording  
  You can schedule screen and/or audio recordings to start automatically at a specified time.  You can record your favorite website or anything on your Windows desktop.  The recording begins at the given time (provided My Screen Recorder Pro is running), continues for the specified duration, and stops.  This is useful in situations when you know the exact time something will happen, for instance, your favorite internet broadcast.  The schedule gives you the ability to choose not just the time, but also the day of the week to start a screen recording. You can select any weekday or combination of days.  
     
 
1. On the Tools menu, click Schedule Recording and check Enable Schedule box.  Your desktop screen and/or your audio is recorded on the scheduled day (s), time and duration. (You select whether to record video, audio or both on the General tab of the Options window).
2. If you want to schedule the recording of a website, you have to choose the Launch a website and start recording option along with Enable Schedule.  Give the website URL in the URL to Launch box.  In this example, we have given the URL of DeskShare.
   
 
   
3. Give the time in the Start recording at box.  Specify the duration in the and record for box.  By default, the recording gets scheduled for five minutes after you check the Enable Schedule option and the default recording duration is thirty minutes.
4. In Select the days to perform recording check the days of the week that you want to record on, depending on when you want to use the automating facility.  You can record any number between one and all seven days each week.  Click OK.
5. Set My Screen Recorder Pro's recording Region so that the events you wish to capture will be seen.  For instance, if the Region is set to Rectangle, be sure the window you want to record is within that rectangle.  You won't necessarily be there to move it when recording starts.
 
     
  Command Line Parameters  
  You can start recording from the command line, using Command Line Parameters.  This feature lets you record the desktop of a PC over the local network or to start My Screen Recorder Pro from another application.  You can start, pause and stop recordings without actually opening a My Screen Recorder Pro window or being physically present at the PC you want to record on.  You can write your own scripts, and use these parameters to trigger screen  recording.  This can help you detect a bug or track user activities whenever they access sensitive information.  
     
  Automated Conversion and Publishing  
  Apart from the screen-recording automation options mentioned above, My Screen Recorder Pro also has the Auto Tasks option that converts and publishes screen recordings on its own without any user intervention.  Your recordings are converted and published in the background while My Screen Recorder Pro is still being used to make screen recordings.  Automated conversion and publishing can save a lot of time when you make multiple screen recordings that have to be regularly published to an FTP server.  Read the article: Save Time and Streamline Your Work with Auto Tasks.  
     
  The automation features of My Screen Recorder Pro let you capture screen recordings on your PC without starting the recording process manually.  Files can be published and converted automatically in the background while My Screen Recorder Pro is still making screen recordings.
