  1. Debut 2.05 has a "Record Screen As" option called "Fast Capture" that may be worth trying. It seems to be a modified version of the "Record Screen As" avi option with a (lossless) HuffYUV codec ... both "Fast Capture" and "avi HuffYUV (Native)" create hugh files when I set the framerate to 30 fps (20GB for 30 mins of capture of a 640x480 screen area ?) . As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be much difference between these two options. nb. even though both these "Record Screen As" Video options may have smoother motion compared to other options, they still aren't as smooth as the original streamed video that I was trying to capture. The other approach that I briefly looked at was the "lossy DivX" method that Plusone refers to. Instead of "DivX", I tried either "avi" or "mp4" with the H264 codec with various Compression settings values that adjust the picture quality (eg. I set "Record Screen As" to "avi", Encoder Options" to "H264(Native)" and then click the "Compression Settings" button to adjust the quality level ... nb. the default quality level is "28" ). Yes you can improve the motion by lowering the quality but the picture then looks really bad on my computer ... ie. blocky. ps. I just did another screen capture using "Fast Capture" with the Windows 7 Resources Monitor turned on. My computer's CPU was almost always between 30% and 40% and my Memory usage was around 30%. This tells me that my computer isn't being stressed by Debut when it does a video capture with a lossless codec. So I really shouldn't need to resort to lowering the picture quality with a lossy codec.
