Changing display resolution
Hi, quick question, I record my screens full width which is 1440. I then resize my screen capture video to 1280. Would it benefit me to change my screen resolutions width to 1280 before capturing to improve capture performance? I changed the resolutions width to 1280 and it looked a lot more blurry but would it look the same in the end when i've resized it down anyway? Thanks

Which video compressor will you be using? If the current default of Microsoft Video 1, setting the "quality" slider all the way to 100 will give you very clear results. I recommend never going below 80 myself, though some get by with it set to 70.
That slider has no effect on Xvid (my favorite just due to familiarity) or other compressors. They usually have their own quality slider in the configuration settings dialog for that compressor. I keep Xvid's quality at 1 (best quality) and still pull 3 hour vids out of CamStudio at 720p.
Do not let your file size go over 2GB or CamStudio will crash.

The sound should be set to PCM 16-bit 44.1MhZ - I would not use anything else. Just watch your file sizes, but with Xvid or X264vfw you should be ok.
