alright hears how it is I recently downloaded camstudio I was able to use it a little bit,but now when I drag and make the box for the video and release it the record button grays out but its not recording and the arrows in the corner don't show up and when I stop it nothing happens then when I exit out of the program a message comes up saying that it has stopped working and asks if I wanna close it, I have windows vista if that means anything I also downloaded something I heard about on hear to get it to work cause I had the problem where it wouldn't show up after downloading, incorrect side by side config. I'm sorry if I'm writing a lot I just want to give as much detail as I can anyway it was working before now its not I think it was freezing a bit earlier and I also restarted my computer

    DrakeShadow,

    First, go get the latest version 2.6 r294 at Sourceforge. It solves the "side by side" issue.

    Then don't drag to make the box - use fixed region - experiment till you get the right size of box, but make certain the height and width are both even numbers. This will be important later if you try to upload to YouTube and other places.

    I recommend Jawor's Xvid (google it) as it has great compression and works with many upload services.

    Watch the tutorial videos!

    DrakeShadow,

    Really? You installed r294 and it didn't solve the problem? That's odd! Well, I've heard many people get good results just from using 2.0, so try that anyway.

    Also, be certain to right-click on the installer(s) and select "Run as Administrator" to ensure it can write to the preference files and such. Vista is very finicky about that.

    DrakeShadow,

    You will have to have the Stereo Mix option in order to record the audio from your speakers. The "Record from Speakers" option does not work on 90% of computers today. You'll have to use "Record from Microphone" and set your control panel settings to get sound from the Stereo Mix recording source. There are several references to this, and videos as well - do a search on "Stereo Mix".

    Also, unless you change the location where to save your videos, they are saved by default into the program files/Camstudio folder along with the program.
