What is AMCap

AMCap is a software program that allows people to take videos with their webcam, record that information and then save it automatically to the hard drive of the computer to which it is attached.

This program is fairly easy to use because it does not have a lot of different settings that need to be utilized. A person simply needs to decide whether he or she wants to have the video that is recorded saved to the hard drive of the computer in a MPEG2 file or in an AVI format. Both formats are fully supported by the codecs that are included in the document.

There are also a wealth of different options that are available for a person to use when capturing video. One of these options is the ability to take screenshots. Screenshots are when the image that is being shown on a screen is captured and that single instant is recorded as a still image. This can be helpful for making memes, gathering evidence and information and making sure that all of the details in that image are able to be analyzed. Another option that is available when using AMCap is to add special effects to the video. These special effects include being able to overlay graphics on the picture, being able to increase the transparency of certain parts of the video and being able to do some alpha-overlay. All of these different options allow videos to be customized so that they exactly fit the needs of the person who has taken them.

This program also allows its users to record audio, which many programs do not. By being able to record audio, it ensures that the complete experience that unfolds in front a web cam is fully experienced.

Unfortunately, this program is not considered to be particularly useful, especially because there is no way to take automated screenshots. Automated screenshots are extremely useful for being able to monitor an area. Because of the lack of this function, there is no real reason why this software should be used.

Because video files take up a lot of space, this program is not recommended for those who do not have a large amount of space on their hard drives available for video storage. Storing a lot of videos unwittingly will result in the amount of room left on the hard drive being seriously diminished and the computer slowing down as a result. It is recommended to only save the videos that a person really needs.
