Use a more advanced video-codec like divx or xvid to get real low sizes of your videostream. use virtualdub to resize everything. for capturing losless, use huffyuv or for screen-captures something like avimszh could do a good job, as IMHO it only compresses deltas of the frames, witch is quite usefull for screen-capturing.

Good luck

I'm making a slide show presentation for my daughters Basketball team.

I've honed all the pics and ended up with somewhere around 120 pics.
Would like to make a VCD out of the presentation.

I've used EASY CD CREATOR 5 - PHOTO RELAY to generate a simple slide show with predefined transition effects.

In addition, I downloaded some GIF and plopped them into a POWERPOINT slide along with an MP3 to serve as a title page.

I'd like to capture the actual slide show (which runs about 10 minutes) and also the POWERPOINT presentation.

I grabbed a copy CAMATASIA studio which can record screen output but I guess I'm not using the correct codec because I loose frames.

I'm running AN AMD 1.6 with 512 DDR 266 FSB and a GEFORCE 2 U64(ddr).

CAMATASIA suggests turning off VIDEO HARDWARE ACCELERATION which I do and also to use their compression CODEC to preserve 100% quality.

I suppose I should use a COMPRESSIONLESS codec such as FULL FRAMES (they say no compression).

What seems reasonable for my FPS. I realize that it depends. The slides themselves obviously are static suggesting a pathetically low frame rate but the transitions sometimes get hairy.

Is there a better way of capturing screen data? ReinerSchweinlin above suggests avimszh but i can't figure out what that is. I assume he means Avisynth but I don't know where to begin using this as a scripting mechanism to something like VIRUTALDUB.

CAMStudio rocks.

It is the dady for capturing onscreen imho. it is fast and captures at big res'. Simple to use.

So do you have any recommendations on screen capture setting?
