HyperCam captures the action from a Microsoft Windows screen and saves it to AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) movie file. Sound from the system microphone is also recorded.

HyperCam is not intended for re-recording of other video clips from the screen (e.g. playing in Media Player, RealVideo, QuickTime etc.), but rather for creating regular software presentations, tutorial, demonstrations, etc. Re-recording has been performed several times, however; as there are many examples of this action on YouTube. Unlike some other recording programs, HyperCam applies a digital watermark to the upper-left corner of each recorded file; it is fairly distinct, and is often disliked among users of recording programs. As an alternatative to this factor, some individuals have decided to use a similar program named CamStudio. HyperCam can be used to record video games such as World of Warcraft, Everquest, Maplestory, and Runescape.
