Week 10 (22 October 2012)

After a week been away for a Deepavali's break, class continued. This week, we've study about the CamStudio, a software where you can capture your laptop’s screen. It is not as the Screen Capture thing.

But by this application, we can capture a video from our laptop screen. Awesome right! You can download it from here Camstudio . 

How to use CamStudio?

1. Start Camstudio and go to the "File" menu to start new projects or open old ones. Start a new one.
2. Click on the "Region" menu. This allows you to define the size and area of the screen the program will capture. Click the "Drag Corners to Pan" to move the "Box" around that you will be recording.
3. Select "Options" and click "Video Options." Select the "Compressor." You should use the "DivX" codec from the list. Turn off "Auto Adjust." Set the "Key Frames" to 30, the "Capture Frames" to 50 and the "Playback Rate" to 20. 
4. Finally, go to "Options" and click "Audio Options." Select the "Lame" codec as your audio compressor. You are now ready to record.
5. You can also make a shortcut key on the keyboard to make sure our recording didn't get interrupted. Select Options > Program Options > Keyboard Shortcut

Here a video my friend and I had made by using the CamStudio (our assignment).
