CamStudio Support Forum

CamstudioLover,

So, in Options/Program Options/Name of AVI File, you have checked "Ask for Filename", and place the video where you want it, but it doesn't save? It may be going over the 2 GB file size limit and crashing CamStudio in that case. Try some shorter test videos, and perhaps switch your codec (compressor) to Jawor's Xvid.

Be certain to get the 32-bit version. Xvid allows much more compact file sizes, and thus longer videos.

Terry,

In the savings options there are only 3 options for saving. Windows Temporary Directory, User Specified Directory, or Camstudios Program Directorys. I chose the user specified one and I chose the folder for it to be auto saved in but when I look there there is no video.

When I downloaded and tried Camstudio Portable on a different computer it works.

The saving areas for Camstudio have to be in one folder. Can't it be so you choose the location every time you are finished making a video?

CamstudioLover,

You do not have a selection under Options/Program Options/Name of AVI File? Perhaps that did not exist in the portable version you are using. Hmmmm....

Did you look in the program files/camstudio folder, or in the program folder on the stick? Usually it saves the automatically named videos in the temp folder, and you specified a location for that. It uses a time-stamp to do name it.

Terry,

As I said before I downloaded and installed the same program (Portable), same version and it worked on that computer.

CamstudioLover,

I have no idea -- I've never seen this one before, and naturally cannot replicate the error as it is apparently entirely machine-specific. If you discover what is causing this, please let me know!

Terry

Terry,

I will reinstall the program again to see if it will work this time as I think that there are some corrupted files in the program directory.
