If you try Apowersoft Streaming Video Capture or Apowersoft Streaming Video Recorder, please let me know whether it works with Hulu and what antiviruses and antimalware you used to check it for malware, spyware and viruses.

I am thinking that this company (Apowersoft) is fake. I cant find any registered address (Street, ZIP code) and their website is hosted by
Bluehost, some anonymous hosting service.
I cant find any telephone number either.
Their website says "last updated August 1st" (which is in 2009), so their software isnt updated any longer. I can understand that you

are interested in knowing whether this fake software works or not but let's forget about it. We also know that there are different (old) products on different homepages by the same developers (
Jack King,
Terry Backer) but i would suggest that from now on we treat "Apowersoft" as spammer. Just have a look at the above
pathetic list of products. This is clearly a method of fooling the customers!!
Keep in mind that serious developers (like
Jaksta, or
GetFLV) release only a single product. Just one product. A product which claims to capture (=download original Bits and Bytes; no screen capturing techniques!) the server files which are being streamed. To accomplish this, Jaksta gives the user the possibility of 2 different capturing modes: "Downloading" vs. "Recording". And that's it.
The above screenshot is extremely irritating. So from now on I will delete their posts (or posts which say "the software works great on Crunchyroll and on Hulu!!") ... unless the posts show clearly screenshots of a video capture of a most recently posted video.
I did such screenshots for GetFLV, for websites such as Hulu, Channel4, iTV player, and BBC iPlayer. So GFLV (and user getflv) is accepted commercial software on
SRF (this forum).
Apowersoft is banned until there is current proof.
