Alright, so I've been having stupid issues now with Camstudio, which seems to happen at random (I even get this when using Snagit too so...). Apparently, if I try to save over 10 minutes, the thing gives me this "Unable to open file" error.....which makes no sense as it's not opening anything and supposed to be SAVING the damn thing....now, I've even had this error happen at 8 MINUTES.....which it rarely ever happens with. Now, I don't know what's causing this error to happen, but anyone have any good ideas on how to fix it or whatnot? Cuz I'm tired of having to constantly re-record 10 minutes worth of footage every time (by the way, the game I'm trying to record is Battletoads & Double Dragons....yes, I'm doing a WALKTHROUGH on that behemoth of a game D: ).

to crete a file a program has to open an empty file, so to speak, so he can't create a file tro write/save, hence the error.

It can't create the file, either by file permissions,  incompatible filenames or not enough hardrive space.

Well, can't be the harddrive space, since I always stay above 80 GB :v

Dunno anything about file permissions or how it could be incompatible filenames....it rarely does it with any other game that I've recorded so......I don't know x_x

You know......I never thought about that.....lol. Now I feel stupid x_x

Oh wells, gots Fraps now so I'll have to try and test that out to see if that works fine. Though probably going to use it more for ePSXe than anything else. I'll just have to refrain from using the & symbol then ^^
