Camstudio for windows 7- Tips For A Quality Video Screen Capture
Camstudio is a free screen capture software that is very similar to camtasia it is practical and easy to use you can record your pc screen and screenshots to make videos for products or youtube or any number of things.
If you are planning to use camstudio on your windows 7 pc you may find you have problems with large recording files where your video and audio will not save or you may get an error message saying it cannor render the file.
One of the best ways to make sure camstudio works on your computer is to download and install a codec this will compress the video file making it easier to manage save and upload. On the download page is a codec called loseless codec most people use this codec with camstudio
I personally used a different codec called k-lite codc from free codecs . Com as I had trouble with the loseless codec insallation on my pc.
Once you download the codec you have to go to camstudio and press the options tab
then click on video options snd select the right codec it will have different name if you are using the loseless codec but you still follow the same directions.
once you have finished you can use camstudio and the files will save better and upload quicker especially if you are uploading them to sites like youtube
