Best CamStudio Settings to Record an HD Video

Posted by Unknown at 5:31 AM Read our previous post

Video Options

CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.4 (but maybe there is a better codec that gives similar quality for a smaller file size?)

1. Up Check Auto Adjust 
2. Quality: 1 (I think this is ignored by this particular codec)
3. Set Key frames every 200 frames (This is the max. value allowed. Gives smallest file size with no perceivable performance difference)
4. Capture frames every 250 ms (i.e., 4 frames a second. Gives relatively small file size and fairly smooth video - enough for my needs anyway)
5. Playback rate: 4 frames/second (NB - This value multiplied by the previous value (i.e., 250) must equal 1000 exactly (e.g., 333 and 3 no good and may give audio problems!)
6. Time Lapse: ignored (as we already un ticked the check box).

Region

1. Make it as small as possible, to result in a smaller file size.
2. Tick 'Fixed Top-Left Corner'
3. Click 'Select'
4. Click on the screen and drag to create the capture area
5. Click OK
