Version 2.6 ... does not understand the video captured CamStudio or Camtasia Re

[JimmyJo]

Version 2.6 ... does not understand the video captured "CamStudio" or "Camtasia Recorder".

[styrol]

MediaInfo says: "Video format: TechSmith Screen Capture"

This a proprietary video format. Use another output format like MPEG-4 packed in MP4 container.

Wikipedia:
"The program allows files to be stored in its own proprietary format, which is only readable by Camtasia itself; this format allows for fairly small file sizes, even for longer presentations. Camtasia also allows the generated video stream to be exported to common video formats which can be read by most computers, even if the Camtasia software is not installed, such as MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. Moreover, distribution of exported videos can be done using the Camtasia Player, which supports a variety of video formats and does not require user installation."

Opens static screen capture now.
Can't play video or save/re-encode that TechSmith Screen Capture

Works here
?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Can't put my finger on it. When 1st time loading, seems to be not reactive for a some time: slider not movable, clip not playable, then after some time or 2nd loading it works. After all it does work, more a false positive report.

[JimmyJo]

Ok.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

if it should display a static black/white text in that clip, then it works now with  avidemux 2.6.3 r8680.

[Jan Gruuthuse]
