Rev264 : Always returns to MS Video 1 if you don't check video codec
Was this fixed in a newer revision, because if you don't re-check your codec, by going into its configuration, don't change anything, and just press OK; you will get an odd oblique output after recording, having CamStudio show MS Video 1 when you're actually using ffdshow or any other codec.

If you were using the "fixed region" setting in 264, I believe it was, the setting is off by one pixel in both directions - you have to add one to width and height.
Try that and let me know if it fixes the issue. The problem with the later versions is that ffdshow is not showing up for those, for some still undetermined reason.
I've been using r294 with few issues, with Lagarith Lossless codec for high-motion video, and CamStudio Lossless for Powerpoint, browser-shot and program-screen recordings. Note that 854X480 will produce skewed video at YouTube if you use CamStudio Lossless, while 856X480 will upload OK to YouTube.
Watch your times with Lagarith - about 9.5 minutes in 32-bit display color settings (with 16-bit audio) and 11 minutes in 16-bit display color settings (also with 16-bit audio). Set your "Automatically Stop recording at..." setting to avoid going over 2 GB.

I vaguely remember that this was an issue fixed in r272 or whatever it was. I use r294 and have not had this issue crop back up, but it does happen in r264.
I didn't think it was only ffdshow - I was only referring to the fact that presently we are stuck having to use r264 if we want ffdshow to show up at all in the codecs listing!
Was I wrong in thinking it was r264 that had the one-pixel error in width and height occurring in the fixed region settings?

Re the one-pixel error: I must confess that I've seen those discussions but, since it doesn't affect what I need and use CS for right now, I just sort of scanned the discussions and really don't remember. Sorry.
Jo
You are correct - neither 272 nor 294 show the latest versions of ffdshow. That is hopefully going to be fixed in the next release, as that is Nick's favorite as well!
Thanks for your info in another post about the older ffdshow showing up - have to test that yet on my machine.

"Using an older revision helps somehow: http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download-1030_0_158_file_ffdshow_rev3572_20100913_clsid.exe.html
Make sure you uninstall your current ffdshow. "
There is a version of XVID that installs with the K-Lite codec full or mega pack, isn't there? That appears across all versions.

booklover,
The one-pixel error may have been isolated to a codec, true. I'll look into it when I have some time!
Terry
Ahh... I never would have thought of that, as I have never used the SWF converter in CamStudio (...I would use Any Video Converter, if I had the need). But, of course, it is just TOO EASY to accidentally hit that button that switches to recording in SWF mode, isn't it!?
