We had similar problems. The default codec in Camtasia has a 2 gig limit - when you get there the app just shuts down - no warning, no saved file. You can change the codec though if your recording for a long time with a lot of screen movement -
From within Camtasia you can do some simple editing, then output the file as any of a bunch of formats, streaming, etc. Joe On Jun 15, 2005, at 6:37 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > We tried Camtasia for several weeks...it had a tendency to crash the > system when compiling the footage, because the files were so large. > In addition, it outputs to .avi and is hard to convert to other > formats. > > Granted, these were long sessions - up to 60 minutes.
