Options for pre-set stop
Hi!
(Newbie with CamStudio, so please be gentle... :-) )
I find the "stop recording after x seconds" feature very, very useful. A couple of quibbles about it though:
- is there a way to just input the time there and not have to adjust with the up/down arrows?
- is there an option to record MORE than 7200 seconds? Some of the sessions I want to record can go on to 4 hours or more, and I just want to set it and forget it. (BTW: I drop the frame rate way down - something like 1 frame/second - which is perfect for presentations and such, as the video file is small and the audio chugs along nicely...)
Thanks!!!!

Right now you can't input a figure directly, I'm not sure how easy this is a function to do.
Recording for more than 7200 seconds is also not possible I don't think, but I don't see why this couldn't be done.
Ghosty?
Cheers
Nick :o)
I did my own experiment with the source code and this is what I got; I hope it may be of help.
The 7200 limit is defined in "PresetTime.cpp":
((CSpinButtonCtrl *) GetDlgItem(IDC_SPIN1))->SetRange(1,7200);
You can increase the second value up to 32767 (9 hours, 6 minutes and 7 seconds). If you set it to 32768 or higher the function will be broken when you build Recorder.exe. I think the best choice (aesthetically) is 32400, which is exactly 9 hours:
((CSpinButtonCtrl *) GetDlgItem(IDC_SPIN1))->SetRange(1,32400);
Yesterday I left CamStudio over night (using a modified build of Recorder.exe) with a Preset Time of 9 hours and everything worked fine, as far as I can tell. The result was a 9 hours long (of course :P) and 414 MB file. My recording settings: Fixed region=320x240, Codec=Xvid, Quality=50%, Keyframes=20, Capture frames=50, Playback rate=20, no audio.
Well, I hope this may be a solution, or at least an approach to it :)
Best regards,
Gabriel.

P.S.: Also, by changing this value
acc[2].nInc = 100;
to 600 or higher, going from 1 to 32400 gets a lot faster (5x in this case).
