    Yes – a forum would be a great place to share workflow tips as well as user based support.

    New user to CamStudio. Would love a forum or ability to search blog. I’m trying to learn how to record to FLV for editing in Flash MX rather than record to SWF. Thought I saw that option somewhere in CamStudio 2.0 but can’t find out how to do so. Any help would be appreciated (I hope you received my thank you donation!).

    I also need FLVs. What I usually do is record in CamStudio to AVI and then convert to FLV with ffmpeg.exe It is a command line utility that requires some trial and error for finding out the argument set that works. However, once you get it, it is able to produce very good FLVs.

    Yes, that would be a great job if you could stick a forum for this. It’s better for a conversation from people that know to people that don’t.

    Hi, new user here. A forum would be very helpful.

    I’m trying to create a SWF that after finishing playback does not reset to the beginning frame of the video. I uncheck the autostart and loop options but the video always resets to the start on completion. If I leave autostart checked then it stays at the end but I do not want to autostart. Adding parameters to the HTML doesn’t seem to help either. I’m new at this…

    Artem: you can use our free software at freescreencast.com to record a screencast directly to .FLV. We also offer free hosting with embedding capabilities.

    I too would love to see a forum created. I am still trying to figure out how to get the screen annotations to work properly when creating self-help videos. Does anyone out there have a camstudio tutorial or self-help video I could use to view and learn how to successfully use the screen annotations? Thanks for any assistance.

    this is a little utility for converting to flv as well as other formats. I think a forum is a good idea.

    I think that every product should have a forum. Just from the stand point of being able to communicate with other users as well as with the developer. So yes I think that CamStudio should have a forum.

    Forum would be nice but I know that forum takes resources to maintain so why not using Google Groups or co-operate with some existing video forums for example I bet afterdawn.com wouldn’t mind to add special section for CamStudio.

  • 15 samoguz // Dec 13, 2007 at 9:21 pm

    Yeah. It sounds like a great idea.

    A Forum would be nice. it would be a better then leaveing comments =P

  • 17 ghosty1212 // Dec 15, 2007 at 8:34 pm

    I think something like http://camstudio.org/forum would be fine. Not a subsection, but it would cost more for hosting. But use phpBB. It’s open source! :)

    @VGStudios

    I did reply [grin] – damn spam filters – I’ll try again

    @Ghosty

    Yep – that’s what I’ll do, but I’m gonna use Vanilla because … well … I think it looks better! :)

    I’d like to have a forum. If you want some assistance with it. I’d be glad to help. I just loaded phpBB on a friends website and I’d be happy to set one up on your website…assuming of course that your website has php.

    I saw someone writing about about flv’s. I’ve found great success creating flv’s from the Camstudio 2.5 avi’s with Flash 8 Video Encoder. Then I show them on a Flash Tools which has an index allowing users to select from a variety of training video’s.
