CamStudio screen capture in Firefox browser.
I was happy to find that Download Helper in my Firefox browser uses CamStudio for their screen capture. While I can't use it right now because of my update to FF6 and waiting for screen capture update to follow. I'm aware of the finicky needs of CamStudio to get it just right, and wonder if anyone tried this option? Has anyone had any luck? Did it ever really work? It sounds too good that CamStudio would be properly configured for FF browser, requiring just the click of an icon.

I've never heard of anyone trying to use CamStudio as a Firefox application. How are you expecting CamStudio to work in conjunction with Firefox and the Download Helper, exactly?

Ah - thanks! I looked it up. I can't see the use of it, since I have CamStudio in a shortcut available at all times to call up anyway. But, if you could call up a customized configuration that worked for most instances, I could see its use for that. Of course, CamStudio really needs a quick config-loader to allow switching configuration profiles for different uses, and perhaps this can be modified to allow that somehow.
I really hate all these updates of FireFox killing my add-ons like every week lately! :-(
Must be hell being an add-on author and having to keep up with these things. I'll try to hook up via email with the developer of this CSHelper add-on and see how he/she thinks the development of this one is going to progress.

Just was curious and looking for comments, which you have provided. Having some experience with CamStudio, and configuration adjustments, I really doubt 100% satisfaction for now (or ever). If a person used for a primary purpose (say Hulu only) then perhaps. While I can't use it yet, pending following updates, I'll advise if I have any luck.
Using the DownloadHelper 4.9.5 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/) and CSHelper 1.0 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cshelper/) extensions should work on Firefox up to 7.0.
Using CamStudio that way (from CSHelper) should work right away, but you'll probably also need to install the XVID version embedded into CSHelper (check the extension preferences) to get a better quality and also allow audio recording which is disabled by default.
Cool! Thanks for the heads-up, mig!
