Freez Screen Video Capture is a program from smallvideosoft.com which lets you capture a selected screen section and records it into a video. It uses codecs installed on your Windows for output and can record the sounds or voice through microphone. It does not watermark the output video which makes it better than hypercam.

The program and website states it is a free registration, but they have decided no longer to provide this for free. The program stops working with the message "The window will be closed. You can register later to use it." after 20 captures. It appears to be an bug since they state "Free" all over their website, however there is an internal counter which triggers this message.

This counter does not get removed when you remove the software, so reinstalling the software will not work to reset the usage.

You can reset this counter and continue to use the program by modifying the Windows Registry:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSUpdate
"videocaptureCount"=dword:00000000

An easier way is to create a file called "clearcapcount.reg" with the following contents:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSUpdate]
"videocaptureCount"=dword:00000000

Put the "clearcapcount.reg" file in your "Start > Programs > Freez Software > Freez Screen Video Capture" folder. So when you hit the limit again, you can reset by running the "clearcapcount.reg" file which modifies your Windows Registry for you.

Thanks to smallvideosoft.com for the software but no thanks for advertising it as Free when it stops working after 20 captures and getting rid of your free registration.
