  1. After several attempts to remedy this problem working with NCH Tech support, the only thing that worked was uninstalling the latest version of Debut and going back to the version I've used for years without any problems (version 1.68). I hope NCH will address and fix the bugs in this program.

  2. Thank-you. I have replied and hope to find an answer.

     

    Edited: I received a pop-up asking me how I like Debut. I was able to send a bug report. It then directed me to the latest update, version 2.26. I was able to install that update but the lagging recordings and freeze-ups are still happening on both the laptop and my desktop.

  3. I November 2015 I purchased a new Debut license to install on my laptop. The recordings were laggy and the program constantly froze when I stopped recording, bringing up the 'Not Responding' warning. It would freeze up the computer to where I had to shut it down because I couldn't even bring up the Task Manager to 'End Task' on Debut. I figured the laptop just couldn't handle the program and bought a new 'High Performance' laptop. Unfortunately, I have the same results of poor, jerky recordings on the new laptop but it hasn't frozen up yet. (Have only had the new laptop for 3 days.)

     

    So, I tried to install Debut on my desktop and couldn't because it had already been installed on 2 different machines. I had to buy another license to install it on my desktop (which was specially built for heavy loads) and the recordings are still dropping frames and laggy. I have it set up to record for 30 minutes, then stop and start a new recording. Once it reaches the 30 minute mark it "Stops Responding" and freezes up the computer to the point where I can't even End Task in Task Manager because everything is frozen. I then have to shut off the computer.

     

    I've used an older version of Debut on my desktop and never had this issue. And since I've had these problems on 3 different machines I am certain there is something very wrong with this latest version. I've written to tech support twice and the only responses I've gotten completely ignored my question and instead offered this: "If you still need support, or if there is additional information you can provide, please let us know so we can provide you with assistance as soon as possible."

     

    What does one have to do to get help with this kind of issue? I feel I've wasted $80.00 on a program that I can't use and no one is willing to help me get this straightened out. If I uninstall/reinstall, that will be viewed as installing on two machines and I won't be able to try it again should that fail. I'm completely fed up.

     

    Anyone have any similar experiences or suggestions as to what I might do to remedy this situation? I'd appreciate the help.

  4. Thank-you bryang. I'll give it a try and let you know what happens.

     

     

    Edited to Add: By George, it worked! I've been trying to figure this out, off and on, for months! Thanks so much bryang! :D

    I saw that thread after posting my original question. I posted what I had experienced using Debut's built in timer. I've tried it several times but always had the same results. It would be anywhere from 10-20 minutes behind.

  6. Hello All ~

     

    I've been using Debut Professional for a few years to record streaming video of live eagles' nests. I would like to be able to also record a real-time clock but every desktop clock I've tried is not captured during the recording process. I've seen it done on others' recordings but I can't figure out how they do it. Here's an example:

     

    Anyone know how this is done?

     

    Thanks in advance.
