Like it, please! Part of the "How to Use CamStudio" Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A57A11C0D77BBF9B
WARNING - The latest 32-bit version of Divx installed on my Win7 64-bit machine froze up CamStudio entirely whether I was using Divx or not. I had to un-install it to return functionality to CamStudio. Let me know if this happens to you!

This is a very "muddled" video. =p

@galenblake821 I muddled through it as best as I could at the time... I don't ever use this codec anymore - Jawor's Xvid pretty much always, at "1" quality setting with the 720p profile.

The camstudio lossless codec doesn't work on windows 7 -_- they changed the download and you have to go to source. fuck that shit, divx screen recorder is better.

[tbritton33]

@TheSimpleCamp See the video comments for the CamStudio 1.4 installation - I included a link to a codec installer that makes CamStudio Lossless appear - heck, here's the link: screencasttutorial-dot-org/Cam­StudioCodec14.exe - I'd re-install CamStudio afterwards to ensure you have the upgraded codec, but this installer will make them appear in the list. I prefer Jawor's Xvid codec for most things anyway (32-bit version, though you can install both if you have a 64-bit system)

@tbritton33 It doesn't work britton.. I even tried editing the registry and it doesnt even show up there. This is 2011 almost everyone uses Vista or Windows 7 64Bit that does any video editing work. The amount of ram needed makes it almost NECESSARY to use a 64bit operating system. 

[tbritton33]

@Darkpriest667 I don't know what you are trying to say, but CamStudio is a 32-bit program, and thus requires a 32-bit codec version.Windows Media Player 64-bit can use 64-bit ones. Also, DivX has been broken for the last couple of months, so I've been recommending people use Xvid instead. Google for Jawor's Xvid - that is a very good one - install the dual package that includes both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions for your media player and Camstudio alike. Let me know how it goes.

This video went viral on Korea, South

[tbritton33]

@SilentStalkerX I definitely have a love/hate relationship with DivX. The plus side of that is that I discovered Jawor's XviD builds. I'll never go back!

DivX bricks my system a little. It attempts to generate thumbnail preview images for most of my mkv files(not that I dislikes this). However, it doesnt generate preview images for certain video and pretty much crashes my system each time I access a folder that has any of those mkv videos where it's trying to generate preview thumbnail.
