My guess is that Action! will eventually allow you to select a vfw codec like most of it's competition, but by that time I will have completed my current project. If I am honest I was even looking last night at alternative applications to add to my collection, but most dedicated desktop recorders only use proprietary codecs like Action! does, and the ones that do let you pick codecs are dedicated to video game recording with an AERO hook added as a kind of after thought.
I have had my copy of Action! for nearly a year and only used it maybe twice because I am a bit spoiled. That would really push this from being a good screen recorder to a great one. I just really wish I could use a truly lossless vfw codec in Action!. I also like the built in "Show mouse clicks" option. Action! does not have any of those issues and keeps a constant framerate instead of the AERO variable framerate.
When the mouse cursor hovers over hyperlinks and changes to the "finger" pointer icon and would disappear from the recording, also it would disappear from the recording while over certain application windows. Normally, I record using lossless RGB, but the current project I am working on revolves around recording the Windows desktop and my other program I normally use just hooks into AERO, so it is not well suited for what I am recording. I prefer having the very best quality possible to start with so that my final render will look it's best before uploading to companies media servers. I don't mind large files, this is a dedicated video editing computer I work off of. It still looks really good for a lossy codec, I have to admit. I had noticed a slight darkening of my footage with FICV as well, but I don't think any of my users would even notice while watching it. Ah, I have not seen that comparison website before.
