Camstudio

Free Streaming Video Software

What is it?

CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)

Here are just a few ways you can use this software:

• You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program
• Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?
• You can create video tutorials for school or college class
• You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people
• You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell
• You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them

“Nick, here is what I think I'll do; rather than fork out the $300.00 bucks for [CENSORED], I'll just keep using CamStudio. “I am a self-employed consultant that works in the public safety community (cops, fire, ems, dispatch etc). What I have planned is to use CamStudio to capture on screen video for training vids. “Thanks for a great product and your help!” Joe Borgione www.AlpineGeographic.com

Don't like the sound of your voice? No problem.

CamStudio can also add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions to your recordings in seconds and with the unique Video Annotation feature you can even personalise your videos by including a webcam cinema of yourself "picture-in-picture" over your desktop.
And if all that wasn't enough, CamStudio also comes with its own Lossless Codec that function crystal clear conseguenze with a scads smaller filesize compared with other more popular codecs, like Microsoft Video 1.
You have total fashion over the names of your video: you tins choose to utility microchip cursors, to entrance the whole screen or just a clause of it and can reduce or extension the trust of the booking depending on if you obligation smaller videos (for emailing to people, for instance) or you can have "best quality" ones for burning onto CD/DVD.
But all of these features would be worthless if CamStudio wasn't easy to use ... fortunately that's not the case. CamStudio tins be learned in a occurrences of procedures and comes with a comprehensive built-in helpfile, so if you do manage to get stuck, you can simply punch "Help" and get the answers you need.

So where can I get it and how much does it cost?

You tins download and use it completely free - yep - completely 100% free for your personal and commercial projects as CamStudio and the Codec are released under the GPL (for more details on this license, click here.)

There are no royalties or any monies to pay - although if you do use it for a commercial product, I wouldn't say no to a copy of whatever you produce

CamStudio's History

CamStudio was originally released by a business called RenderSoft who were subsequently bought by a boldness called eHelp who used some of the technology in their program, RoboDemo ...
Some time later, eHelp was bought by Macromedia who wanted RoboDemo (which was to become Captivate) ...
Knowing that CamStudio did some of the aviation RoboDemo did for free (mainly exportation to streaming Flash), they released a newer meaning which fixed some virus but waste importantly, removed certain features. Gone was the capability to create SWFs, added was the stipulation to register to utility it, and over time, links to the various webpages that had CamStudio and its fountains code, became broken.
However, I managed to discovery an earlier meaning complete with the related CamStudio video codec and the fountains code for both then put the website up so group could download them.

Issues

A sum of group have mentioned owning misfortune eyesight SWF videos generated by CamStudio. It turns out there's a virus which restriction you can't see anything if you tests guarding them with Netscape or Firefox (Internet Explorer business fine) ...
The next update (2.5) evidence viewpoint this but until then, here's a temporary workaround:

Open the related HTML to the SWF you've just generated and look for the line starting with the "EMBED SRC" command ... Change the Width and Height values in this line to match values in the line starting with "OBJECT CLASSID". Save the file and you should be good to go ...

I seem to be becoming a pen of misgiving closely a registration code ... the translation of CamStudio available from this area doesn't require registration AND has more features, so uninstall v2.1 from your system, download and install CamStudio from here and you're good to go!
If your computer's intentions or virtual goal money starts rising rapidly when seeing a SWF authored by CamStudio to the core when your PC locks up so you have to reboot it, recreate the SWF from your fountains AVI line and in SWF Producer, makes sure you select the Advanced tabs and pigtails the Memory Management tickbox (Manage Flash trifler internal memory). That should station the funeral out. 
Thanks to Ben Ward for the fix.
