- How to record MSN Video

You can record MSN video pretty much the same way as the youtube video. Please note that this recoding is done on Windows 7 64-bit. Please refer to vendor’s website if you have Windows XP as it might be a little bit different in setting up audio.

Let’s open liteCam. The first among the 5 buttons on the left is “Record Video” and it’s the default button as liteCam was first developed to record streaming video.

Now click the little down arrowhead beside the Select button. You can also select the recording mode from the toolbar. I personally prefer “Rectangle” over “Window” when you’re recording YouTube or MSN videos because “Window” records scroll bar on the bottom of the video as well as the video.

liteCam will minimize and the entire screen will be dimmed. Now you will have to select the area you want to record. Just drag and drop.

Now it shows the coordinates of the starting point and width & height for the area that will be recorded.

If you are ready, click the Record button to start recording the MSN video. 

You have to click OK to continue. This is the last pop-up window prior to actual recording. In liteCam 2, you will remember going through 3 or 4 different dialog boxes before recording any videos. I think this is the biggest enhancement in video recording feature.

When you’re recording MSN video, you only have 2 options; pause or stop. If you have selected “Record Screen”, you get screen drawing tool as well beside these 2 buttons so that you can create a quick tutorial. Please also note that if you’re liteCam 2 user, this new version records mouse cursor which many users wanted for years.

When you’re done recording, it shows you where this file is being saved. You can rename the file name and also change the location as well.

Happy Recording!
