Problem with poor resolution
Hello;
I am trying to use CamStudio to create a couple of short training videos. I am capturing video of my web browser and am saving it as an avi. When play it back using the CamStudio software, it looks great. However, when I play it using Windows Media Player, or any other media player, the resolution is so poor that I cannot make out the words. It looks just as bad when I save it as a .swf file. I've tried using a couple of different codecs but no joy. I'm sure I am missing something simple. Any insight at all would be appreciated.

Right-click the video in WMP and make sure the video size is 100% and that Fit Player To Video On Start and Fit Video to Player on Resize are both checked.
Are you using MS Video 1 as the codec?
If so, swap it to either the CamStudio Lossless Codec, DivX, or FFDShow Tryout - http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net (set the encoder to H.264)
Cheers
