Windows Movie Maker is for general purposes.
Mediacoder can do the same thing but perhaps maybe be more complex than you need.

And as far as a 4 GB size, maybe you're recording too large of a screen size, windowed 1078 or whatever should do just fine

Some part of the tutorial should tell newbies to prefer trading crowns for CE before equipment, if they like playing more than 2 hours per day. Maybe it already does, implicitly (it explains everything operates on energy and where the exchange is).

People are... ahh never mind. There's always going to be beggars, people who don't read, people who don't care. The smart people you don't hear about. They figure out their own way to sustain themselves.

How much did you earn in the last danger room?
What's your calculations if there wasn't any danger room?
It's not always that you'll get a danger room at depth 5/6 and from my experience, that usually gives ~800-1000 $$ which is substantial portion of your profitability. Those at D1/2/3 tends to be cheapskates...

First, cheers to sawa for making a very good point about this game. From the first day I started playing, it only took me about 10 hours of total time spent fighting to get a good grasp of the game mechanics; it was enough so that I could be a competent team mate as well as solo if I wanted to. In total I have ~288 hours of gameplay to date, roughly half of which I have spent fighting.

I want to reiterate sawa's point and say that it doesn't take much to be decent at this game. It's not easy, but all it takes is some common sense, practice, and learning what each monster does. You can play this game without ever purchasing CE and still have tons of fun.

"...there is an option, be patience [sic] and learn the game like any F2P players at end game. " --sawa0122
"...you need to realize that patience is a virtue and just keep working at it." --Ginzaki
"Indeed it is all about patience most of the time..." --Comito

I'm glad you made some videos that show evidence that you can easily afford (nearly) unlimited play time, but I'm thinking that a lot of the problems a lot of people have with this game are caused by their sheer lack of patience. I assume this because of several behaviors I've seen from newer players to the game.
- Wasting energy to revive before I can get over to them with my full health to freely revive them.
- Walking right by little green bushes or lamps without slashing them. I've had 100 crown coins drop from these.
- Chaotically charging around levels with never a thought to strategy or survival. A friend of mine calls it the "ants on a hot dog" approach.
- Not being willing to go back to clear out the rest of a level when we reach a party button.
- Begging for 10 or less energy so that they can immediately blow it on one unprofitable level in the first half of a tier.
- Begging for small amounts of crowns so that they can win an auction for some piece of gear (that's probably not very good anyway).
- Buying lots of junk (un-upgradeable) gear instead of CE or recipes for good (sellable) gear.
- People buying out materials I have for sale for significantly more than other identical materials' buyout prices (wait, please keep doing this!).
- People getting in a bidding war with me as I inflate the price of some mat or gear to way more than it's worth before I "let" them win.
- People won't shut the game off and find something else to do while their mist energy recharges.

It seems that the devs for SK have a different vision for their game as evidenced by their recent (and reviled) updates. For whatever reason, they want it to be time-consuming to become self-sufficient and work your way into 5* gear. Personally, I find playing through my mist energy and then waiting for the recharge enhances my enjoyment of the awesome game that Three Rings has made. But then I do have a job, so I don't have (get) to sit around and be bored all day either.
