How to Optimize CamStudio Video Capture for Games and Machinima
http://blog.production-now.com/2006/12/assignment-27-movies-and-machines.html CamStudio is great for making machinima because it's a free screen capture tool that allows you to record video from your computer. But it takes tweaking to make the video smooth and high quality. Swing by the CamStudio FAQ section on optimizing: http://camstudio.org/faq.htm#Optimize Download the ffdshow codec: http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ and then, in the CamStudio Recorder, go to Options / Video Options and set the Compressor to "ffdshow Video Codec" and follow the Optimize suggestions: Key Frames every 30, Capture every 20, Playback every 50. Hope that helps!
