#Camstudio 64 bit windows 8 install#

I set CamStudio to record from my mike, and the end quality was really pretty good. I got some stuff off my desktop, but then I went to YouTube and was actually able to record the video with no trouble at all. It was about 50 seconds and saved in avi format. I then came across the fact that there's a recent build (2.7.2 r316, whereas the newest is 326) which is available in zip format, and I went for it right away. I didn't like the 'adware' concept, so I went to the forum on the developer's site to see what types of comments had been made.

I've used version 2.0 for a long time, but I decided to give the new version a try. If I desperately need to make a screen movie, I've still got good old v.2.0. I looked around in the menus, but I wasn't able to find anywhere to tell the program not to check for updates.ДЇor this reason, I've decided to get rid of the program on my Win 7 machine. For some reason, every time I start the program on the Win 7 machine, I get a message that a newer version is available. I found one thing very objectionable: As mentioned, I'm using a zip version, so I merely copied the entire directory from my Win XP machine (32 bit) to the 64-bit Win 7 machine. I repeated pretty much the same test as on the XP computer, and it worked fine, too, though - again - the avi file is really big: over 450mb for 19 sec at about 75% of the total monitor size (21-inch monitor). file' error with this version (it's a known bug that's apparently been fixed in the newest version), but you can just click it away. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is that you immediately get a 'missing CamSudio.cfg.

I did a bit of research first and found that - for some reason - it only works if you install the 32-bit version from the Microsoft website.ДЄnyway, after installing the C++, it started as expected. The first problem was that the program wouldn't start until I installed a 2010 distribution of Windows C++. As a follow-up, I've just set up build 316 on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
