Screen capture file format

Post by cassb »

Hi -- is there any way to change the screen capture file format to AVI? The only thing listed on the format listbox is WMV, and the quality is bad. This is for VideoStudio X5 Pro.

Thanks!

OK thanks. That's too bad, because VideoStudio could take come customers from Camtasia (like me) if it could capture in a better quality.

I don't know if this would work for you, but have you considered using FRAPS? Its default capture format is AVI. After FRAPS captures what I want, and it's saved onto my HDD as an AVI file automatically, then I merely load it into VS X5. (Note: I don't use it to capture video from within VS, only sources outside VS). I probably don't understand fully what you are trying, or from what source you are trying to capture from.
