Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I recently dipped my toe into the screen capture software fountain. I have tried 3 versions, Camtasia 8 came out head & shoulders above the three I tried. Unfortunately PTE's video conversion system (7.07) will not accept any of those I have tried without upsetting the original video to the extent that it becomes unusable without running the video through a third party software. So what I'm asking for is for PTE to increase the range of video codecs it accepts & to include videos from video capture software. Camtasia now records at 30FPS giving a much clearer picture than the others I have seen, I believe the codec is TSC2.Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you make an Mp4, I think you will find PTE will play it OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you make an MP4 with Camtasia, it loses the audio recording for some reason. MP4's in Debut & Blackberry, PTE won't accept (blue icon), if you then convert to AVI in video pad Debut & BB are accepted but the quality is poor.Yachtsman1.

orizaba Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I recently dipped my toe into the screen capture software fountain.

Camtasia now records at 30FPS giving a much clearer picture than the others I have seen, I believe the codec is TSC2.Yachtsman1Did you try "WM Capture" v6.0.4 (28 April 2012)?I use this one, after trying Camtasia and others.Video till 50 fps, 12000 kbps, MPEG-4(AVI) or MPEG-2.Audio till 384 kbps.Excellent results.A suggestion for a free video converter: SUPER v2012.build 54 (Nov 18, 2012) by eRightSoft.This is the far best video converter, the one I use to get M2TS files (Blu-Ray class) at 60 fps progressive (which is a frame rate that does not exist on BD...!) No other converter can do it!In fact, when I publish my PTE projects in HD video for PC (1920x1080, 60 fps p, Two-passes, 23000 kbps, audio 320 kbps, 48 KHz, Stereo), I use SUPER to get correspondent M2TS file, in order to save and play them in my Media Player (Popcorn Hour A-210, which clearly "prefer" such M2TS files). Result is super!Regards,Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Beckham Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't wish to be argumentative, but if I make a Mp4 with Camtasia and drop it into PTE, it playes fine with the audio, but I am using PTE7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Jose & BB.JoseIn answer to your queries, I have never heard of some of the software you mentioned, I just tried what I found with a quick search in Google. of the best two I tried Camtasia seemed the most user friendly so I am concentrating on using that, Thanks for the suggestions.BBWhen I made the post, that was one of my first trials with Camtasia, since then I have made MP4's with system sounds that drop straight into PTE 7.07. so it was early days when I said that. However if I allow PTE to convert them, the file size shoots up so I used the raw file from Camtasia. Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
