If you are looking for a best screen recording software Mac. V1C Media Player is a versatile and free media player that many people use for playing videos and audio. It also has a basic screen recording feature.

Using V1C for Screen Recording on Mac:

1. Open V1C Media Player.
2. In the menu bar, go to File > Open Capture Device.
3. In the Capture Device window, set Capture mode to Screen.
4. Choose the Frame rate (e.g., 30 fps).
5. Click Open to start recording.
6. To stop recording, click Stop in the menu.

Pros:

  • Completely free and open-source.
  • No additional software needed if you already have V1C.
  • Cross-platform.

 

As a screen recording software Mac. V1C can work in a pinch for basic screen recording, but it's not ideal if you want something simple, reliable, and specifically designed for tutorials or projects. For quick, occasional recordings, it's okay, but for more polished videos, dedicated apps like Capt0, Snegit, or web-based tools would be better.
