Talk:CamStudio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Has anyone actually used this? It probably should justify it's wikipedia article's existance, just a bit. Mathiastck 07:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I made a video for YouTube using the software and let me tell you, it works WAY better than HyperCam.--Axe995 03:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I just downloaded it and gave it a go and was very impressed 194.83.140.28 14:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I have Vista, and CamStudio works perfectly on it. In the article it says that it has to be in compatibility mode, which I don't run it in and it still works fine. Asofaihp (talk) 17:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
I don't think this article conforms to WP:NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinxed (talk • contribs) 20:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
What portion of the article are you basing your NPOV comment?Wolfpackmars2 14:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I've got this software and both stable 2.0 or beta 2.5 are very unstable, crashes on attempt to change video settings, converting to SWF either crashes or never ends, and what is most important - output AVIs don't work both in VideoLan and Media Player Classic with K-like Codec Pack! I was trying to find a ticket/bug report but bug tracking system is closed/private. Wasted time on this software, have no idea who uses it. Sorry if this is offtopic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onkeltem (talk • contribs) 22:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't believe Onkeltem's comments are very helpful here, and I also believe he is the kind of person who expects $100,000 car performance out of a junker. This program is very handy for people who want to make simple videos without doing much fancy, and is free. You want to do anything beyond that, then pay up. Otherwise, take the BS elsewhere.
[edit] Possibly Viral
ArcaVir antivirus, via http://virusscan.jotti.org, is reporting the official, Sourceforge version of the executable as infected with the IRC backdoor, "Riskware.Virtool.Zombantiantivir" (http://www.viruspool.net/virus.cms?&id=770477). In the interest of preventing the spread of malware, I'm removing the links from this article for now. It is worth noting that none of the other 20 antivirus services detected anything, so this may be a false positive. ~ Eidako (talk) 07:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I've opened a support ticket on the author's service desk, and another person has previously raised the issue on the SourceForge tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1886523&group_id=131922&atid=722680). Given a lack of guidelines for this type of situation, my gut feeling is to leave the links out of the article until the author has responded. ~ Eidako (talk) 08:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
