Hello Everyone!
Thanks for permission to write in this forum, i hope to found a solution...
I have installed the last version of CamStudio (2.7.2 r326) but when i clicked "video option" the program crashed. I found to the Option->ProgramOption->Troubleshoot... i've put the flag in the "Restrict my video codecs to prevent crashing." and the program now is all ok BUT the window of "video option" doesn't appear...
"What can i do" is alla i can say...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!!

    See this post to remove any old settings sitting on your computer first so we start fresh: http://camstudio.org/forum/discussion/1276/camstudio-won039t-start-or-won039t-save-settings-corrupt-config-files-in-camstudio-and-how-to-fix#Item_1

    Revert that setting you'd made in the troubleshoot section so you can see if the above has the fix.

    We'll get it going eventually!

    Not sure. I've asked Nick to come take a look also.

    It has to be the default codec that is selected already (the first in the list).

    You can try this in case it is a problem with the Aero desktop themes - right-click on your desktop and select "Personalize" and choose one of the Aero-free themes, like "Windows 7 Basic" if you are running Win7, and see if you can open it then.

    @RioOspo

    What *exact* version of Windows are you using? XP? Vista? 7? 8? 32 or 64-bit?
    What is your graphics card?
    What resolution is your screen?

    Cheers

    Heei Community,
    I had the EXACT SAME problem with my Camstudio 2.7.2.
    Click on "Video Options" => crash
    [Win 7 64bit; Intel E8400; GeForce GT240]

    When I installed Camstudio it worked fine. I made some test recordings with the Camstudio lossless code and it did the job well.
    After the testing I installed Sony Vegas 7 to do some editing, and this is the point where I had the Video Option crash problem.
    When I set the "Restrict my video codecs to prevent crashing." option I could not access the Video Option at all. (like RioOspo)
    I also tried to re-install it several times.

    So I de-installed Sony Vegas and Camstudio Video Options worked again!!
    Maybe you also have installed Sony Vegas [or other similar software] and it causes the problem.

    I googled for it and fhere are quiete some people who have this problem.
    Sorry for my bad english,
    greetings from Germany! =)

    Doomkeks,

    Whoa! That is an oddball problem if there ever was one! I wonder what Sony Vegas is doing to us that breaks things?

    This is likely something the programmer might be able to find a workaround for, but who knows....
