I am trying to use CamStudio for the last couple of days. Have read posts in the Forum area et view U-Tube videos on how to use the software. My problem is that all the output files generated by CamStudio have no video but only the audio. I have read in the forum a few posts on the same subject but there was no cure proposed by nobody. Is it because CamStudio does not work with certain XP configuration or is it a bug not resolved yet???
I have 2 computers both working with Windows XP one is Home et the other Professional.
Both computers have P4 CPU, 2,79 GHz and 1,21 GBof Ram.
Any solutions available??

    Are you trying to record a video that's playing in Windows Media Player, VLC or another Win32 app?

    If you are, disable Hardware Acceleration in Windows before recording.

    Control Panel > Display > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting. Set the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.

    Then switch it back to Full after your recording is done and dusted.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers

    I also have this problem and have tried the suggestion above w/o success.
    If I open camstudio player, it gives audio only.
    If I use quicktime, it gives video only.
    If I convert to swf it plays fine.
    If I convert to mp4 using a converter from xillvideo.com it works fine.

    I'm using camstudio 2.0

    I installed 2.6 beta and now it plays fine in camtasia.
    Nothing has changed on the other apps.

    sorry, i meant camstudio above, of course.

    I am experiencing all of the above and have had no success in solving the problems.

    My main problem is when I record swf orbtry to convert to swf I get an swf which intially plays the sound but no graphics in firefox, and gives sound and patches of graphics (in the location of the moving cursor) in IE8. I tried the height-width fix in the swf.html, which revelaed some patches of graphics in the firefox version, but I am still not getting a complete picture.

    I tried several times to download the 2.6 beta to see if that would help, but it would not install properly in Windows7 (I cannot remember the error now). Has anybody tried it in Windows 7.

    As Debs said, I would love to use this nifty little gismo, but I am struggling at the moment!

    Here's hoping you can help. Many thanks in advance.

    greg,

    The SWF Producer is ok, but there are better SWF converters and player configuration tools out there for free that are constantly updated:

    Free versions of JW Player and Flowplayer are available.

    http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player (free for non-commercial use, not sure of license)

    http://flowplayer.org/download/index.html <- free version is released under the GPL 3.0

    People are free to download either of them for non-commercial purposes.

    These players (and all flash based players) also play MP4 files, which are the current favored format and Flash supports them, as does HTML5.

    A good converter is WinFF: http://winff.org/html_new/

    Another is Virtualdub http://www.virtualdub.org/ downloads at http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

    2.6beta only works with Windows 7 if you have the MS C++ libraries installed.

    Try installing the C++ libraries

    For x64

    64-bit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BA9257CA-337F-4B40-8C14-157CFDFFEE4E&displaylang=en

    Restart your computer and the Camstudio beta should work. Run in XP compatibility mode.

    I don't know whether, if running 32-bit applications, you would also need the 32-bit libraries installed, but you could try it if the above doesn't help.

    32-bit:

    Let me know if that works for you.

    CamStudio 2.6beta, being beta, has had some bugs discovered in it that are presently being fixed.

    CamStudio 2.5beta works fine for the most part (though Region>>Window requires you size your window one pixel smaller height and width for it to get the correct dimension): http://camstudio.org/dev
