I tried to record a test movie I made in Super Mario World. While it did record very well, it took up 4GB. I recorded it @ 512x448 (Console resolution is 256x224 so I recorded at double the resolution) and I used the lossless quality settings and the movie was only 90 seconds. What are your favourite settings to record an AVI that looks okay but doesn't take up so much space?

CamStudio lossless codec - GZIP mode - compression level set at 1. I record at native resolution unless if it's a game that switches to double size.

Cause you don't have it installed. Camstudio Lagarith Here's a Guide for beginners btw. And a different Guide on Custom Encoding. There's more guides but these are the simpler 2 from the majority that are on the site.

Alright, I got Lagarith working and the codec shows up for me (CamStudio didn't for some reason...). The file size was a lot smaller but I had one issue, I had audio only. No video showed up when I used the Lagarith Encoder (And in case if you were wondering, I did turn on Enable Null Frames and Use Multithreading and the mode was RGB.

What did you use to play the AVI? Do you have the codecs installed, or did you just copy the DLLs?

I found it, it worked the entire time, but I opened it using the stupid Films/TV app on Windows 10. I tried opening it in another media player and what do you know... it works! The quality was very good too :)

Well, it is a lossless codec.
