Video isn't recording properly
Okay, whenever I try to record a video, it won't record it properly. It'll just show one frame from about the middle of the clip for the entire video. Happens with multiple codecs. What am I doing wrong?

(This is the one you will need - the 2008 version - even if you have a 64-bit machine)
Go get and install Jawor's Xvid, using his HD720 profile, with the Xvid quality slider all the way to the left (at 1) or perhaps up to 4. Be certain to click the "Other Options" button at the bottom of the configuration dialog and un-check the "Display Encoder Status Window" check box.

Use these settings: Set Key Frames Every: 30 to 200; Capture Frame Every: 40ms; Playback Rate:25fps. Those should work. Use MCI for recording in the "Audio Settings for Microphone" and set it up to use Stereo Mix if recording games.
See videos at for more information.

Use the "Region:Fixed Region" menu item instead, and while in there, press the "Select" button and it will let you select an area. Then you can correct the values in the height and width box before starting the recording.

Other than that, what did you do that made it work to record?
Terry
To record it, I set the mic on my headset to the default device and it worked.

Anything you would recommend to cut down on that, settings-wise? The main output on my speakers is set to 86, and the mic's settings are at 80.
Too bad we don't have access to the kind of speaker-cancelling tech that Skype uses now!

Some rare people are seeing the "Record from Speakers" option work again in their Win7 setups, so feel free to give it a try! Don't hold your breath, though!
If you have a line-in jack but no Stereo Mix, you can get a patch cord and place the line-out into the line-in, then select line-in as your recording source. A workaround, but viable.
