Uh, how can you say that when there are people here that are having issues with it?

People constantly have "issues" with things I work with on a day-to-day basis. "Issues" with torrents. "Issues" with Megaupload. "Issues" with IRC clients. Yet, I tend to be able to work with all of these easily in spite of having an under-speced, obsolete computer. And usually I'm able to guide someone through getting something like that to work, with enough time.

To be fair, IRC clients and web browsers don't tend to be resource heavy. Real-time video capture of fangames can be, so it's not fair to compare them.

However, CamStudio is a pretty light-weight program. I'm interested to know why people are getting poor results - I created this back in 2008 and lag wasn't an issue for me. And I was running a 2001-spec computer at the time. Let me make something clear about this - my 2001-spec PC struggled with Windows Explorer at times, but not CamStudio.

Quality issues for that movie are down to poor optimisations and old YouTube upload systems. These days you'd shove it in Windows Movie Maker and it would upload it direct. Correct-ish resolutions and everything.


If I were to hazard a guess you'd be getting lag issues if you were recording an entire screen rather than a window.
