The demo version available for download offers the same features as the registered version, but an 'Unregistered HyperCam' tag is automatically attached to each AVI movie created by the app. If that's not enough motivation to fork over the $30 registration fee, I don't know what is. HyperCam may not be the perfect A/V screen capture app, but it's one of the few that does do its job extremely well and easily warrants its $30 price tag.
