screen recorder woes. any ideas??

[JCitron]

From what I can see , according to the info you provided above, your finished video is in wmv (codec) format, which is the format developed by MS years ago. The finished recording is 1600 x 900 px resolution. That's a pretty good resolution and should show detail well. Only MP4 1080p is larger, amongst the common formats. A 17.1 Gb wmv video must run for hours. What is the full time on your vid, in hours and minutes.
Sorry for late reply; flu bug running rampant here........

This would makes sense regarding his video size. WMV files are not necessarily the smallest files around and don't compress well overall. They came in second, I think to the famous AVI format which has been around for so long. If he can convert the WMV (Windows Movie) to MP4 then he's all set. Windows Movie Maker, which is still available from Microsoft as Windows Essentials Live http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/movie-maker will do this quite well for free.

Good luck on the bug... You surviving?

Hi Ron,

The hang is probably caused by the size of the original file. Are you sure the application isn't just running busily and ignoring mouse and other I/O?

hi john. at 1 time i left it on for 4 hours. it never did anything bar hang

It sounds like the program ran out of memory and crashed then.

hi john
it could be, but shouldnt have

i borrowed a mates laptop and used his windows movie maker, with the following results
with a header and a tail
2000 class cab ride 02-12-15 ips - dug 11.5gb
using the high definiton display setting turned into 15.5 gb mp4 file

do you think i should try the youtube setting?


fyi
on my laptop, whenever i run the windows movie maker, it hijacks my win8 and tries to update it to win 10,
even tho i have everything set to not update ever

did you want the links to the route and 3 sessions to have a look see?

thanks
ron
