Help! I'm using a Windows Vista. My CamStudio's version is 2.0 when I try to record a video, the results only comes with a video and no audio was recorded. My sound card's from Realtek. Can anyone help me?

Under "Options" menu, make sure "Do Not Record Audio" is not checked. "Record Audio From Speakers" does not always work. Are you using a microphone? If so, make sure the microphone volume is up (Click on the speaker icon in your taskbar [by the clock]and make sure your Mic Input is not muted. If none of this helps, please reply for more advanced solutions.

Sounds like a codec problem. Try changing the codec used for encoding ( Options, Video Options, Compressor) to a different codec.

No one seems to be mentioning the appropriate codec for CamStudio on Vista; there was one user who used DivX Pro and it seemed to have been stable enough to record - can anyone confirm this?

What is amazing is that the solution sat in that "Compatibility" tab. I put Camstudio directly onto my memory stick, and now I can "adjust it" to any computer I like by simply changing the compatibility mode. I'm really grateful for your video - thank you for showing how simple the solution was. I love using Camstudio; I couldn’t bear the thought of not having it on Vista or Windows 7.

Same here. I used to use hypercam and it worked fine until I downloaded Hypercam3.

I have a really weird problem. I can get CamStudio to work fine until I try to record something. It doesn't record anything; it just sits there on the "0 seconds recorded" screen and does nothing. And when I stop, it doesn't even attempt to save. Do you know anywhere that I could get some help for this problem?

[blueiseverything]
