Introduction :
CamStudio is tiny but very powerful tool for recording on-screen activities. It's a perfect tool to make video tutorials and demonstration videos for YouTube, even I also use it to make YouTube videos. CamStudio is totally free and open source, but unfortunately it works only on Windows OS. It records videos in AVI, MP4 and SWF formats, you can also convert your video to SWF format with it's conversion tool. It's really powerful tool to make HD Screen Recordings, but most of us don't know the right settings to get the best results out of it.
How To :
Before going ahead, we recommend you to install Divx codec because it's totally free. Divx codec helps you to compress your videos in small file size. CamStudio comes with Microsoft Video 1 compressor, you can also download CamStudio Lossless Codec from their website. Please uncheck Divx player and Divx converter during installation of Divx compressor.
Step 1 : Open CamStudio.
Step 2 : Click on Region and choose Fixed Region if you don't want to record Full Screen videos.
Step 3 : Change Width to 640 and Height to 360, it's perfect size for YouTube Videos. Just click OK and save it.
Step 4 : Now click on Options and open Video Options.
Step 5 :Change your compressor to Divx Codec or CamStudio Loseless Codec.
Step 6 (optional) : Click on Configure and change Certification Profile to 720 HD Profile. If you don't want to record High Quality Video change the bitrate to 256 and leave everything same. Skip this step if you're not using Divx Codec.
