Viking Screen Recorder is a full-featured screen
recording app for Mac OS X. It features a high performance screen
capture facility, as well as a built-in video editor and video player
that supports all popular video formats.
Just like a Viking -- this screen recorder takes whatever it sees and
doesn't tolerate any loss. As such, we have incorporated a "Lossless
encoding" mode that uses the FFV1 codec (provided by the FFmpeg
project) for 100% lossless, pixel-perfect frames. This codec is used by
professionals for video archiving, so you know it's serious business.
And also just like a Viking longship -- this app is fast and nimble.
Of course, lossless encoding doesn't come without a cost, and as such,
you pay the iron price (or in your case, silicon) -- lossless encoding
does take up disk space.
But -- fear not! We also included the requisite H264 encoding mode that
all popular screen recording apps come bundled with to produce standard
highly compressed (but still very high quality) .MOV files.
On top of that, we support the advanced Apple ProRes 4444 and 422
formats.
As a bonus, we threw in a GIF encoding mode for free (no sound, of
course). This mode allows you to record your screens and upload them to
places like Reddit. We can have nice things!
And now, we also added a built-in YouTube video downloader. So you can
pillage and plunder the internet for movies just like the cyber-Viking
that you always wanted to be.

Nota Bene: The lossless format is 'FFV1', and requires a player that
knows how to grok the format. Either use Viking's own built-in player
(which does a fine job), or download the 'VLC Movie Player' for free
from: http://www.videolan.org/
