Error Recording AVI!
All has been good, then today NOT! Trying to record Video and need help!
Keep getting; "Error recoding AVI File using current compressor. Use Default Compressor?
Tried reinstall and no go. I Run Lossless Codec with normal 20/50/20 settings on Region.
Also, if I click default compressor it resets to Microsoft Video 1, still no go.
Regards, Ed

I think you need to double check the recording width/height dimensions are divisible by 2.
happyguy49 had the same problem when using the DivX codec in this thread:

Also check the YouTube video in '49s comment as well.

yes, I had read the thread you provided above before posting this thread and checked the width & height (720x480) before trying to record.
I still get same error. Anything else to try? Regards, Ed
Now I'm getting error message; "Specified device handle is invalid" and the error
message "Error recoding AVI File using current compressor. Use Default Compressor?
Yes, I watched and attempted all in the above video tutorials. HELP!!!!
Regards, Ed
However, for a better compression rate, I'd suggest you check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/.
Yes, complete reinstall and No I do not have GZIP selected. I have been using CamStudio for awhile and never had a problem.
Just don't know what to do now as I need to generate several videos, like yesterday.
I am trully lost for thought here.
Yes, I'll try anything at this point. How do you suggest sending the new build and what codec/settings do you suggest?

I haven't tested it on any other computer, but it works on mine. I packaged ffdshow in with it, which provides support for a lot of different codecs. The best I've found is H.264 Lossless.
Hopefully it works. I'm going out right now, but I'll be back in a few hours so if you have any problems I'll try to troubleshoot them with you then.
Good luck!
OK, here we go; Steps taken: (XP Operating System)
1) Created new folder in Program Files named CamStudio2.6.
2) Unzipped package into new folder and extracted files.
3) There appeared 2 extracted sub-folders (named 2.6x and ffdshow.exe)
4) installed ffdshow using install wizard
5) Clicked on Recorder.exe and created shortcut.
6) Clicked on shortcut or Recorder.exe directly and now get this error message;
"This application has failed to start because mfc.100dll w2as not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
I re-installled it all and still get the same error message. Help!! I'll check back time to time.
Also I can call you by phone if that will help any. Just let me know. I really appreciate the effort.
Warm regard, Ed

I packaged a bunch of DLLs that you might need. You probably don't need all of them, but I just wanted to be safe.
Extract all the files so that the DLLs are sitting in the exact same directory as Recorder.exe.
Okay, hope that works. Let me know if you have any more trouble.
Alright, so I uploaded an updated build. Here's the link: http://jonnycook.com/camstudio/CamStudio2.6.x.zip
That should fix the black problem, and hopefully your main problem as well.
Ok, so do you want me to download the new file and dll files or just the new file?
The Recorder now opens, but; when I attempt to record I get the error message "CamStudio recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Maybe we are almost there. Ed

I was using 2.0 originally, then switched to 2.5 and both worked fine once I figured out the settings and such. I had not run my 2.5 version for about 2 weeks but when I did yesterday the problem arose.
To answer your questions: (1) no I have not tried the 2.0 version again and really wish I didn't have to and, (b) I left the codec on the ffdshow you added. You know what, I'll try another codec (Lossless1.4) and see what happens.
Are you out of thoughts for a fix?
So, it appears the problem is, as you suggested earlier most likely outside of CamStudio. So, where and what is causing this problem.
Any thoughts/suggestions at all? Ed
Not enough space makes more sense, because it's something that would just happen seemingly out of no where (it's happened to me before :P), but I doubt that's the problem, because you'd have to be _really_ low for you to not be able to create a single file.
Could it possibly be in conflict with XP Service Pack 3 for some unearthly reason?
There was one problem to do with a screen being black when recording, but that was to do with ZoneAlarm (ForceField?) - not SP3 itself.
Can you actually generate a recording with the Microsoft Video 1 codec?
If not and the location of the Temporary Recording Directory is set to your Windows temporary folder, try changing it to somewhere else, like a "D:" drive.
Also (and I know this is dumb) does the user account you're using on your machine have admin rights?
If not, try logging in as the local administrator and making your user account an admin.
Any joy?
Cheers

I have also gone through multiple installs of versions 2.0, 2.5 and 2.6 with NO FIX.
I get the same error message(s) with all of them.
I hope to work with a computer guru friend later today , but shy of him coming up with some
fix, a full system reinstall of XP and the works may be all that's left. It seems The only thing that
still bothers me is, it seems I would be having other problems beyond CamStudio if I have a major system file corruption problem.
Thanks for all the effort, Ed
