How can I use X.264 encoder with CamStudio
  • atom December 2008
    I have installed X.264 encoder in my system, but can not find it in the Video options Compressor list.
    Is there anything I needed to do with this?

    I want to use X.264 or H.264 encoder to compress my captured screen flow, because it seems much smaller than Xvid Encoder.

    Any help will be great appreciate!

    This one should work:

    Thanks a lot!!!

    The 2nd link I downloaded is worked! It's shown in the Video Options Compressor list.
    I'm trying it now.

    Thanks again!!!

    It's worked!!! And the file size is smaller than Xvid encoder under same frame and resolution setting.

    WOW, can't believe I missed this.

    Tested this with CamStudio 2.0, using "Single pass - Lossless" as the quality setting with everything else as default and the results were really nice.

    I had to use MCI Recording for the audio, so the resulting file was a bit larger than I can hoped, but not bad.

    On the downside, YouTube didn't like the video data and I couldn't convert it to FLV locally either.

    More investigation is necessary as YouTube supposedly supports uploading videos that are H.264

    Anybody else, feel free to jump in ...

    Cheers

    Nick :o)

    UPDATE #1: Changing from "Single pass - Lossless" to "Single pass - Bitrate-Based" worked fine, if not exactly the highest quality output:

    But we're getting there.
