Cannot Capture Full Screen of 16:9 Second Monitor
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and CamStudio (2.7 r316 from SourceForge). I'm trying to capture the screen of my second monitor, but it only captures part of it. The left side is cut off about 25% and black is added to the right side, about 25%, maybe more. The bottom is also cut off slightly. The actual capture, aside from the black, appears to be a 5:4 image, cut off from the rest. But the Region option chosen was "Select Screen". Both my laptop and second monitor are 16:9 displays. It will capture my laptop screen fine, but not if I make it my secondary screen. Also, if I choose Region or Fixed Region, I seem to be limited to the right-most 75% of the screen. I've tried Camtasia's trial version, and it captures the full 16:9 secondary screen fine. Any ideas, suggestions?
Thank you

I can tell you that I have had better luck with using http://obsproject.com as a recorder for multi-screen recording. Although most people think of it as a game streaming tool, it actually is a great screen recorder that includes some nice basic compositing tools. I have a playlist of video tutorials on getting started using the original version of that here:
One other thing to look at is whether Windows has adjusted your view percentages for those screens. That can sometimes throw things off.

Thanks for persevering!
