Can't get it to track the mouse properly (remote Desktop)

Hey there,

I'm building a new intranet solution for the company I work for.
Part of it is that we want to create educational videos about how to use their ERP software properly using camstudio.

Our idea was that we wanted to install camstudio on a server (windows server 2008) that has the ERP software installed, so I could just go to whoever I want to record a video with, connect to the server via remote desktop and have everything set up.

Problem is that camstudio somehow only records the mouse when I click, not when it moves. It's though the mouse was jumping around the place in the final video. Increasing the framerate etc. doesn't help either.
I noticed that it got better once I lowered the resolution (though recording at 800x600 really isn't workable). Could it be that the server simply isn't powerful enough to handle camstudio? Or is remote desktop the culprit?

Hope you can help me,

Regards!

I downloaded this on my laptop with windows 7 64bit and it works great, But today I downloaded and installed on my desk top using Vista 64 bit and it won't open and gives me a message that "this application has failed to start because mfc100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Well, reinstalling does not help. I have done it several times after un-installing.

CamStudioIM Won't Open

I have installed the program twice and all it does, when I click on the icon on my desktop (I tried going through START | CamStudioIM, too) is open up my MY DOCUMENTS folder.

When I installed it, I first double clicked on the camcodec.inf file and a tiny window popped up for a milisecond and was gone. Then, I clicked on Install_CamStudioIM and it appeared to install, telling me it was finished.

I have Windows 7. I'm not sure what other info to add. Any help for this odd problem would be much appreciated.

avi file won't play using win media player, compressed with camstudio lossless codec v1.5

Thanks to all that contribute here, especially Terry. My new avi file (camstudio v2.7) will play using windows media player on my pc with Win 7, but it will not play video, only the audio, on my older machine with win xp. Regarding the older OS running win xp, I did open tools in the windows media player and Ck the box, "download codecs automatically". Any ideas why it is playing only the audio and not the video? I have installed the latest player, but all I see when it plays is a moving colorful graphics show! Thanks ^_^

v2.7: Need help getting MPEG4 output

March 20, 2013, 7:49 am

Hello,

I've been trying to generate H.264 mp4 files using CamStudio v2.7 r316, and haven't been able to figure out how.
Ideally, I'd like to generate an .mp4 file directly from CamStudio. If needed, I'm open to generating an AVI file that QuickTime Pro can then read in, and generate .mp4 from there.

I first tried x264vfw - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. This generates an .mp4 with H.264 video, but no audio. A
separate AVI file contains the audio, but no video. I tried different settings, but still have this fundamental problem.

Next, I tried ffdshow video encoder. Only the MJPEG and FFV1 encoders run to completion without errors. The
MJPEG creates Motion JPEG video, which QuickTime doesn't seem to like. FFV1 creates an empty AVI file, with the
audio in a separate WAV file.

I also tried XVid MPEG codec. QuickTime does not display video (but identifies it as XVID). I have installed the plug-in,
but can't get QuickTime to recognize/use it.

The CamStudio Lossless codec v1.5 DOES create an AVI file with video and audio, but this must be played in the CS player.

Any suggestions on workarounds for the x264vfw encoder? Or suggestions on how to get QT to recognize XVID?
XVID doesn't have a control panel type interface like X264 does, so I'm not sure how to enable the decoder.
Is there a CS Lossless codec plug in for QuickTime? (I can't find one with google searches).

I'm working under Windows 7 32-bit. FWIW, I started with CS v2.6, but couldn't get the x264 or ffshow encoders
recognized when added. CS v2.6 only saw XVID encoder. My forum searches got me past the v2.7 DLL install issue, but
I haven't been able to resolve the other issues I have.

Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. I've been trying test after test to identify the issues, but have
run out of things to try!

Thank you!

audio out of sync after using Freemake to covert avi to swf for embedding in website

Freemake converter is doing a nice job converting avi to swf, the video looks good and the audio sounds fine, but the audio is lagging behind the video, I'm estimating 8-10 seconds behind, for just a 5 minute video. Does anyone have a solution to get video and audio back in sync? Before posting this here, I just checked the avi file I imported into Freemake and the video/audio are in sync!
Thanks

A Few Problems

My os = 7.
CamStudio(TM) Recorder v 2.7
Build on Mercurial release: r316



1. Under Soundcard Device, when I clicked "Auto Search", an error message said: "WaveoutGetSelectControl() failed."



2. Similarly, when I clicked Options>Get audio from speakers, an error message said: "WaveoutGetSelectControl() failed."



3. When I tried the "Manual Search", an error message said: "Unable to detect recording line for speakers. Please make sure your soundcard is correctly selected in the 'Soundcard Device' of 'Audio Options for Speakers'".



4. When I clicked Options>Video Options>ffdshow video codec>okay, pressed the "record" button, CamStudio asked me to click on the window to be recorded, but then crashed.

The reason why I changed to the ffdshow video codec was because your FAC page advised:

"If you're recording yourself using applications with lots of movement (or recording a film or game playing) use the H.264 encoder in the FFDShow Tryout codec.

http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net"

Well, I guess my hour-long video qualifies as a "movie".

So, I downloaded and installed: "64-bit: ffdshow 1.3.4500".



5. Picture quality is also poor. How can I make it the same as that of the source video?

Recording several games, and not others

Hello,

I'm using CamStudio to record different computer games I ran over an not-so-terrific system.
It works fine with GTA IV and Need For Speed:Shifts, but for an unknown reason (to me (-:),
I cannot record Call Of Duty:Black-Ops 2. The recording comes out as a black screen on which you can only see the cursor moving.
I tried it on a different computer (better configuration) - same results.
Also tried in "Windowed" mode, which didn't help (I'm not sure he actually ran it on a window mode... maybe it's impossible to run such a game in that mode, or maybe I did something wrong, or maybe the Steam platform interferes).

I would really appreciate any guidance, after failing in finding relevant data on the support forum (the questions always depict this problem as occurring in all the recordings, and in my case - it's only one game).

I should probably mention I'm running on Windows 7.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm running a Toshihba C855 laptop, it's 1.7ghz dual core AMD and 6gb of ram. I have tried to set up camstudio as I had done on my last machine, I thought it would be simple enough. However, I can't seem to get it to record audio. I used to just run a cable form the headphone socket to the mic input and record that way... and I never had any issues before, but that doesn't seem to work. I tried to follow the instructions to enable the stereomix method... but can't seem to get that to work either. I know I'm more than likely doing something stupid, just can't seem to figure it out.

Any advice, or assistance would be appreciated. And if you would require any further information, then I would be more than happy to oblige.


Thanks for your time.

Mr Terry i am sending you another video describing you what my problem is so as to see it with your own eyes too :-| This is the link to my second video:
and to compare it with my previous one i am giving you again the link:

In addition to that i have two other problems :( 1) the cursor (as i told you in my e-mail) isn't always showing up - as you can see in "Lily1" video - so almost every time when i want to work with camstudio i have to make my choise of pen again and again. Other times (and they are few believe me) you can see my cursor and i don't have to choose it again !!! and
2) f9 doesn't work no matter what i do :(

Any ideas ??? :-S

VS 2010 Compilation

May 20, 2013, 7:12 am
$

Howdy,

My question is : how do I compile + debug the "Recorder" project,
from within Visual Studio?

Here is what I've attempted so far:

1.) I downloaded CS v2.7 from the SVN (whatever this is...) as a regular download
and then attempted to open it in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition,
even though there was a "VS 2008 v10.0" tag within the solution file.

2.) The VS converter popped up and started converting -- all the way, something
like 19 projects, however on the subsequent log file it showed that each project
has several warnings (but w/o any errors).

3.) Also, on the Build Configuration Manager, all projects were checked + tagged
as Debug / Win32.

4.) So I used to do a "Build All", and on the message window VS
finally said : 14 projects succeeded, 1 failed, and maybe some skipped.

5.) Next, I set the "Recorder" project as "Start Up", within the Solution window.

6.) Oddly enough, on clicking the "Recorder" project DID run, and I was
even able to start it out (again) via Step-by-step debugging mode.

7.) On other hand, however, the "Recorder" program (while running),
after clicking the red / recording GUI button, did NOT do any recording,
as the flashing corners did not appear - nor did it allow to save any
output (AVI) files to anywhere (it didn't display the SAVE dialog at all).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Johny

Error message when trying to record while audio is compressing

May 15, 2013, 6:54 am

Hi all,

I was wondering whether it was possible to start a new recording while Cam Studio is compressing what I had just recorded? I never had a problem doing this i.e. when Cam Studio shows "compressing _%", I would press the record button and it would work fine. When the compression ended, I could save the 2nd recording as well.

However recently it hasn't worked and instead I get the error message about "Cam Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I lose everything.

Was wondering what could be the reason I could previously record while compressing but can't do so now??

I am aware of Terry's suggestion to use multiple Cam Studio programs to record one after the other but I was hoping that just one program could do it (especially since I somehow managed to do so before).

Thanks in advance for your help.
