You website seems to being giving me problems with my firewall. Have you added any SSL encryption based items into the HTML code / Whatever the program was coded in. I give this complaint and speak out to everybody when I say, sites with SSL encryptions could damage most firewalls.

I will embed the swf files on my blog, http://www.fanplex.de/internethilfe/category/vorschau/

but with that memory bug, I can’t upload files, with a space more than 10 MB.

Has anybody the problem fixed or will it be fixed with the new Camstudio 2.5 ?

This is the most important feature, I’m looking for!

Thank you for your help!

Are you using Riva to encode to FLV? Maybe I haven’t fiddled with the settings enough in that program but it doesn’t seem to be as good (compression-to-quality ratio) as using the SWF native to Camstudio.

At any rate, it would be good to see a work around from the Camstudio level or a fix to Firefox…

BTW, there seems to be a little bit of information on the web about fixing Firefox’s SWF memory leaks but they’re (1) a hack at best and should ideally come “out of the box” and (2) unless I’ve done something wrong I the hacks dont work.

I ran the exact same file in Internet Explorer and the memory hardly blipped. It must be an issue with Firefox.

The interesting thing is that I can compress the video to a FLV and it runs fine in Firefox using a couple of different Flash players.

So one workaround is to capture the video, translate the AVI to FLV using a different program, and use an open source Flash player to play it. That will be IE and Firefox compatible. (Note that you probably need to use a common codec to make the AVI so that a FLV creator can use it.)

It will be interesting to see if the o/s SWF player has the same hassles.

My page file size was “Managed by Windows” and smaller than what you suggested. I manually set the larger size, but still had the problem. (From what little I know, using virtual memory over RAM would be the wrong way to go, but I tried it since there is much I do not know!)

Interestingly, I can make a FLV of the same AVI and have no problems in playing that back. So my first hunch is that the CamStudio-generated SWF has a memory leak. Perhaps it doesn’t show up for most since I am recording a larger area than most?? Anyway, if you are interested, I am uploading an early test of the screen capture here: http://www.six-sigma-black-belt-training.com/thomas/test7.swf.html

It is about 27Mb – about 2 min at 800×600.

If I watch the memory usage, it climbs up rapidly from the start of the playback soon leading to video choppiness and eventually to audio choppiness. If you can confirm this runs on your computer then I know there is something weird on my end.

Thanks in advance if you are able to do this!

Cheers,

Steve

Nick, When do you think you can post the new/improved feature list and the video you mentioned?

Any plans of uploading the code/binaries to sourcesofge?

Thanks for the link to PortVideo, I’ll look into it and see if it can be used somehow …

Also, something else I thought of …

Is it possible that Window’s Virtual Memory settings are too low …?

They should be set to a minimum of 1.5 times your RAM …

So for example:

I have XP SP2 with 1GB of RAM and my VM is set to between 1.5 and 2GB …

You can check/change yours by:

Right clicking My Computer > Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance > Settings > Advanced Tab

Click the Change button if you need to …

I hope that’s helpful …

Cheers

Nick
