Version history:
Camstudio v2.7, release 316 2:
------------------------------
We think the 93% installer bug has been fixed. Please redownload and install and let me know if there are any issues.

Camstudio v2.7, release 316:
------------------------------
* CamStudio not displaying/able to use all video codecs on system
(Partially done - some Microsoft WM codecs are still inaccessable but this is being worked on)

* Sometimes the CamStudio Lossless codec is not showing in codec list in Vista and Win7
(A new 64-bit compatible codec installer has been created to remove incorrectly
installed codecs and reinstall it)

* Keyboard shortcut option for Autopan with on-screen notification

* CamStudio will now inform you when a new update is available

* We've altered the default save location from 'Use Windows Temporary Directory'
to a Videos folder in 'Use Application Installed Diretory' so it's easier to find

* Removed link to CamStudio Blog from Help menu

* Made Auto Adjust enabled by default with a new second checkbox (also enabled by default)
above the slider bar locking the Capture Frame rate and Playback rate to only factors of
1000. Added a warning dialog when "Locking" checkbox deselected.

Leaving the "Lock" checkbox on will help to stop common audio/video desync issues

* Added a warning to Video Options > Capture rate mentioning CPU-load and final filesize
increase when using a higher capture rate figure

* Also made Key Frame rate independant of Auto Adjust for finer control.

* Changed first-run Video Options defaults to:

Keyframes every: 100 frames
Capture Every: 50 millseconds
Playback: 20 frames per second

The installer stalls at 93%. What junk is this?

Version 2.6 has been removed from my computer and I will stay with version 2.0 for now. It is a good program. Problems V 2.6 only: User defined directory to save file does not work. It saves it to the program files directory-not a good thing.

Apparently the feature "Record from speakers" (a.k.a "What-U-Hear") doesn't work if you're using the kX audio drivers for the older Sound Blaster cards.

Very high quality program for recording any activity or video on your computer screen to save to AVI format. The swf export is very poor but the avi is quite good.

This excellent GNU GPL licensed project is now hosted with SourceForge and MajorGeek and its 2.0 version is available here:

Their http://www.camstudio.org/ is up and running, even though they have been overrun- almost- by corporate greediness! Check the site and read the story.

Version 2.0 does not seem to be available at this link (http://www.swftools.com/tool-details.php?tool=8162413051) but I was able to make 2.1 functional after posting a cry for help on this site. The capture failed to produce any video and the result was always a black screen until video hardware acceleration was turned off. After a capture I turned it back on ... kind of awkward, but functional.

Better snap it up quick if you can still find it. I couldn't find it on the rendersoft website any more.

Here is a place that you can download version 2.0. Most other sites that have 2.0 link actually give you the new version.

Version 2.0 is very good. It records to any codec installed and comes with SWF Producer to convert the recorded AVI into flash.

Version 2.1 appears to be less functional - SWF Producer is gone. It's offered in RoboDemo but that's not free.
It now requires you to register with an email address.

A very good and easy to use program. the only problem i got wheni installed this program,is when i minimized any or all opened windows on my desktop, it wont show on the taskbar.so the only way to see the windows again is to go to the taskmanager and bring it to front. Im not sure if Camcorder causes this. but its the only thing i installed. so i have to uninstall it by using system restore. since uninstalling alone wont fix the problem.
