I have some issues with my camstudio and came here to look.

I see you are recommending the newer versions >2.0

Googling the download brought me to a page offering 2.0 which talks about

newer versions being paid versions, with fewer features.

Is this the case?

[tbritton33]

@MJCPeters No - absolutely not. CamStudio is an open-source project and the basic program is freeware. Being open source, people may, of course, modify it and offer their version for sale (as long as they supply the source code also...) but the latest version as of this writing is 2.6 r294 available from our sourceforge found link at camstudio-dot-org.

@tbritton33 Sorry to annoy you but where do you get the mind map from?

[tbritton33]

@StevenTCShearer Sorry, but that mind map is now out of date. I'd update the links to the programs, and would have more on using Xvid. I'll put together a new one and upload it to my website one day soon.

[tbritton33]

@StevenTCShearer Good news, Steven (and everyone else) - I found the mind map and corrected the links that were broken and fixed some outmoded statements and made it available in java, html and downloadable .mm forms at my website (link in description above). Enjoy!

i cant open it and when i do its only a black little window with a bar and there isnt a record button.!

[tbritton33]

@Cinderpelt9907 What do you mean by "it" exactly?

[StevenTCShearer]

@tbritton33 Thanks :)

[MJCPeters]

@tbritton33 :) Talk about a fast answer!!!!!

Thanks

What. does. sizer. do.... sheesh. I suppose I can go find out.

thanks for doing this tutorial, but some advice;

- skip the whole mind map thing - neat, but sorry, it's a waste of time.

- explain what the plugins do, and how to use them, less time about how to get them. Getting is easy.
