Record Everything on Your Desktop and Beyond with Live Play Recorder No doubt a picture is worth a thousand words. Demonstrating what happens on one's desktop can save you not just thousands of words, but hours of time. Take another situation: you enjoy watching online TV or listening to online radio and want to prolong the pleasure by viewing your favorite broadcasts once again offline. A reasonable question arises: how can one get the image from the desktop recorded on the hard drive with the following ability to play it? The solution of this problem is Live Play Recorder. LivePlayRecord.com is delighted to announce today the release of Live Play Recorder, an affordable versatile screen capture application for Windows that makes it easy to successfully record desktop, videos from websites, chatrooms and even from YouTube. The user can also record and play online TV, radio and webcam videos. But it is still not the end: the other exciting thing about Live Play Recorder is that it can be easily used as a sound recorder! All the process is extremely easy and is done in a mouse click. On starting the program, the user should define the desired screen area using View Box (a special rectangle just like the one that appears on clicking the left mouse button when you want to select several icons at once) and then click the Rec Screen button. Hardly can one imagine a simpler and quicker process! Live Play Recorder is a real boon for those who have to make presentations of different types, teachers who want to refer to computer tutorials during their lectures and everyone else whose work or hobby is related to video, sound or gameplay recording. Moreover, it is very convenient for those who like chatting via webcam or in a chatroom to save all the history of their communications by saving the videos on the hard drive with the ability to play it later on. There are also no limitations in watching online TV and listening to online radio: the user is welcome to set up as many favourite channels and stations as the heart desires. The recording time is not limited: no interesting broadcast will be gone forever. Live Play Recorder also has the ability to record sound, including voice via microphone. It is especially exciting and opportune for those who like chatting live, playing online games, singing or just want to immortalize the memorable aphorisms of their friends or relatives. Pricing and Availability Live Play Recorder runs under Windows XP and Vista and costs $38 (USD) for five-users license. Licensed users are entitled to free updates and priority technical support.
