Help: Windows Vista Screen Capture (video) I need help with using codecs for CamStudio

[matak 2]

I upgraded to vista, and i just love the os. It is fast stable, and real eye candy. Now i installed most of necessary software without any problems, it's just now i tried to install CamStudio to continue my Video tutorial lessons, but i found it very confusing couse Vista doesn't seem to recognize video codec (found on the same page).

I would really need help from video wiz guys if any here on forum, couse i tried most codecs (microsoft video, intel video, mpeg-4, ffdshow, and it's original codec) and it doesn't seem to work anyway.

Also trying to run CamStudio with XP SP2 compability mode didn't work.

If you know any other free screen capture software which i could use for capturing screen in video format, i would appreciate you share it

Thanks in advance

For the video codecs I recommend you to use K-Lite Codec Pack .
And for the screen recording I use Camtasia Studio, it's giant software in this field but its not free, if you want another one free and works with windows vista just try AutoScreenRecorder 2.0, just google it and you'll find 2 virsions Free and Pro.

thanks for the software. it really works when recording video. too bad that it hasn't got audio support. i use audacity for recording audio. so now how to merge those two.is it something that i do with vobdub... omg, i thought this is going to be a bit simpler, well that ain't gonna happen i guess.thanks again for the software it is really great!!!respectmatakP.S.If i sell any of my video tutorials , i'm buying some pro software
