Reputation and usage of the ApowerREC screen recorder.
ApowerREC is a software for screen recording, but since videos from paid distribution platforms cannot be downloaded with free tools, recording the PC screen can achieve video preservation as well as real downloading. For those who want to use it for video preservation, we have verified how useful it really is based on its basic usage, reviews, and other information.
About ApowerREC
ApowerREC is a screen recording software and application for Windows and Mac computers, as well as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. It is a very nice feature to be able to work with a PC at the same time. A free trial version is available, of course, but it is currently on sale, and a whopping two extra years are included with the purchase of a one-year license. In addition to video downloading, this software can also be utilized for those who play video games, so I think it can be used quite widely.
How to use ApowerREC
(1) Settings after installing ApowerREC
After installing "ApowerREC" from the official website, open the settings screen and configure the settings according to your own preferences. Note, however, that output format and quality settings are supported only for Windows.

You can pause and stop the recording using the toolbar displayed on the screen. Other functions include screenshot, zoom, annotate, and spotlight.

Recorded video files are saved to the destination specified on the settings screen.
Reputation of ApowerREC
We searched the Internet and found that there were mixed reviews of ApowerREC. For your reference, here are some of them
Very convenient when you want to record your screen easily.
When you press the "Start Recording" button, the screen you were using until then (the app starts up and you set the range, etc.) doesn't appear. I'm sure there are many people out there, including myself, who are having trouble with this.
The usability wasn't bad, but it would often fail to start and I would have to re-install the launcher. And finally, when I re-installed the launcher, it wouldn't start, and all I got was a screen asking me to re-install the launcher."
If I may give my personal opinion, I feel that this software is indeed for beginners. I think that people who want to use it especially for saving movies may be particular about image quality, etc., but in many cases, depending on the work, it is not possible to maintain image quality. In addition, it is quite heavy for long movies. After all, it is different from downloading software, so it may not meet all your needs.
