Camstudio : Crashed while saving file

[b4u]

Hi,

I need some help on understanding what I can do about a crash during camstudio file saving.

What happened was that, after a screen+audio recording, I hit stop on camstudio, it stopped recording and started saving the file.

At the middle of file saving, it just crashed, and so I ended up with 3 files:

• ~temp.avi -> where camstudio was storing the captured video
• ~temp.wav -> where camstudio was storing the captured audio
• video.avi -> final file where camtudio was saving until the crash

So the ~temp files should be complete, and I'm assuming (am I correct?) that if camstudio started saving the final file, only that final file is corrupted. It should be using both temp files to create the final one.

Do you see any way re-creating the final file?

At first thought, it could be just a mater of merging the files with some simple video+audio editor, but maybe camtudio does anything more that needs to be addressed?


Thank you.

you need to mux the files using ffmpeg. i don't think it does anything other than that. that said, i haven't tried it in a long while, so i could be misremembering.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I assumed that it would not do nothing more than mux the video and audio file, so I've tried it. Had nothing to loose, anyway ...

Didn't use ffmpeg, but used virtualdub instead, since I also had it on my computer, and it did the trick!

Just joined the files and the final result was ok.

Thanks.
