Capture Screen with VLC
Download and install VLC on the official website first.
Step 1

Change the capture mode to 'Desktop'.Change the frame rate to 30% if you need a high-quality recording. The higher the frame rate you set, the smoother the video is.
Step 3

Step 4
Next, click Start and your screen will be recorded.To stop the recording, click the 'Stop' button on VLC and the recording file will be saved on the destination automatically.
Tip: How to Capture Screen with Audio on VLC
Although the VLC records screen easily, VLC cannot record screen with audio on the computer. Besides, the mouse pointer is also beyond the screen record.Thus, if you want to record screen with both audio and mouse pointer, a professional screen recorder like FonePaw Screen Recorder is a better choice.
Step 1
Open FonePaw Screen Recorder > Choose 'Video Recorder'.You can choose to record the full screen, fixed region or customized region.
Step 2
Toggle on the buttons of System Sound and Microphone to record screen along with audio from your computer and your sound from microphone.
As for microphone, there are two useful features for you: 'Microphone noise cancellation' and 'Microphone enhancement', which work for sound optimization. Before recording, please use sound check feature to test whether the sound is good.
Step 3
Click 'REC' to start recording.Click the red button to stop recording. During the recording, you can highlight the important area that you want the viewers to notice with the built-in annotation tools.
Step 4
If the video is too long, you can set the start and end point to clip the video.
Click 'Re-record' to record again and the video will not be saved.
Click 'Save' to select the destination and save.
The free trial version can save videos within 3 minutes.
Compare with VLC, FonePaw Screen Recorder is more versatile and it can record not only the screen but also webcam, internal sound of the computer and external voice.
What ' more, you can choose a fixed region or custom the size of the recording area and it also records the mouse pointer, which makes the steps you take on the screen more clear. When you finish the recording, it can also help you simply edit the long videos.
