    Howdy!

    As of 11am EST, I am a new CamStudio user! In fact, I have never used a screen capture program before. I am very impressed with the program, and very grateful it is available at no cost.
    I quickly made my first tutorial with audio, instructing a user on how to format a floppy (archaic stuff, I know). I couldn’t figure out how to make my video smaller. I found your tutorial and really found it useful. I am currently downloading VirtualDub to try it out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    PS- I erroneously entered this on the wrong blog- oops- first time blogging too…

    hello Dai, thx for sharing your experience in this.
    I have created a 1:42 min. swf file with camstudio on http://www.quickersite.com/r/default.asp?iId=FMLKDE
    It is still 5,51 MB. Is there a way to downsize this is a bit? I need 800/600 px. I used your settings in Camstudio. Is this the best I can get? Or is there a way to have a 3 MB movie? Can you give your advice on this? thx in advance!

    Another new boy.
    Just did a 3 minute avi on how to use the admin system on a website.

    The issue is I really don’t know what I’m doing but the video looks great but at 262mb its unusable.
    Followed the instructions and go this down to 182 mb, an improvement but for a 3 minute video this is still way to big.
    There are so many options for codecs I really don’t know what to use and what to avoid.

    Can you give me an idea of how big a 3 minute video should be.

    Since forum registration did not worked for me here is my tutorial about producing lossless Flash Video files (FLV) with Camstudio and FFmpeg. I would greatly appreciate if you have any suggestions about better settings http://blog.creonfx.com/flash/howto-create-lossless-flash-screen-captures-screencasts-for-free
