Hello Dmitry,
You posted on my topic about me being able to obtain a HC3 test without logo in exchange for a testing report. I am interested, and if possible, contact me or make it so I can exchange personal messages with you since I am unable to. If not,email me or add me on msn. My email/messenger is in my profile.

Thank you.

Hello,

Much like solitary, I am also interested in testing Hypercam without the logo. I use many screen recording programs, such as a registered Camtasia Studio 6.

So far, I find it very good, especially the interface. I found my other screen recorders have some lags, but that might be my PC  ;D .

Can you please email me so I can find out more on receiving a non-watermarked version.

I'm currently using it and so far the only problem that I have encountered (display wise) is that when you click the window button and select a window, it cuts out the window you are recording. The inside of the border should be where the outside of the border is.


Heres a screen of what I want to record.

Heres a screen of what the program records using the window selection option. As you can see, if I was to record a text document, the border is cut out.

Small suggestion...

When you open the screen note (after you save it) in explorer it doesn't know what program to open it with.
A suggestion would be to program a registry key to automatically open Hypercam and open the screen note.

Hello,

I have found a spelling mistake in your software. It is in on the splash screen.

(http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk192/mj_thompson/Solveig%20Multimedia/mistake.jpg)

Should be Hyperionics not Hiperionics.

Another minor suggestion -

When you are editing a screen note, once you select either "Anchor to Top" or "Anchor to bottom" you cannot de-select it (because they are radio or option buttons) without shutting down and restarting the program.

The default video codec (first one that shows up when you install HP3) is Microsoft Video 1. The quality is not that good, but there are other codecs you can use for better quality. In order for you to upload it to Youtube, you will need a program to render the video. There's a program in HP3 called Hypercam Media Editor, but it doesn't allow you to use it at the moment. Try using windows movie maker, it should be already installed in your computer. If this doesn't solve your question, reply back.

Problems with Sound:

It took me a while to figure out that was hypercam that was doing it, but everytime i start recording it will just turn down to zero the "wave" on sound properties. Even though im not trying to record sound, just images.

After messing with it a bit, i found out that the Mouse Click sound volume on "EXTRAS" that was doing that, depending on the level of volume there it will change the "wave" properties too, so i solved part of the problem just maxing out the Mouse Click Sound Volume. but there is still another issue, now even though I have sound i only have on the left speaker, everytime i record it will just  move the wave balance to the left. (and just for extra info, my sound sound is configures as 5.1 surround )

I just tested with an old version, without the "mouse click sound volume"  feature, and it worked fine.


Title: Re: SolveigMM HyperCam 3.0 Beta is out
Post by: ekb606 on June 03, 2009, 04:42:25 AM
Running Windows 7 64 and getting the same problem that exists with Camtasia, Captivate, etc. etc. ... application fails when audio record is selected. With audio off, H-Cam works great, very slick

A get a HyperCam error message CDSPlayer::OnStart hr=0X80004005 followed by the "can't start recording graph" message.

Since all the popular video capture programs seem to have the same problem, I assume it's something to do with the 64-bit implementation on 7 (never had this problem on XP64) ... do you think you'll have a fix in the near future or is it something that will have to wait a couple of years for MS to officially release 7 and a service pack or three?

Thanks

HyperCam 3 is recognizing my Sigma Tel Audio driver, but I only have source options for Line In, Rear Mic and Microphone.  Should I see an option to record all the other sounds/audio that are being processed by the sound card (like windows xp beeps, clicks, etc.)?  I have turned up the "Mouse click sound volume" to 100% and tried recording with "capture layered windows" on and off (if that matters).

Otherwise, I find the software easy to use and would like to buy it if I can get all sounds to record.

One other comment: I find that HyperCam3 consistently if I switch back-and-forth between the Fullscreen and Window icons/options.  I'm on Windows XP.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me with the sound issue.

Synchronization OK (XviD tested), but often pop up window "HyperCam 3 error: Video compression failure {OK}".
It to being when cpu max loaded, for example run media player, or codec too hard how x264 - with him mp3 settings also not work.
I think when CPU max loaded HyperCam must skip frames, how properly works for examle tool WM Capture with MPEG2.
Yet real record screen is 8 pixels less (width & height).

Hi,
Downloaded 3.0.907.3, Update just a few minutes ago and recorded a region on screen.
My config:
1. Windows XP SP3 with 4GB RAM, IE 8
2. The taskbar is vertically aligned on the Left hand side.
3. Have ffdshow installed as my default video codec

Bug repro:
1. Selected a region on screen and started recording
2. HyperCam minimized itself to the taskbar, however its buttons were hidden
3. Had to alt-tab and get to the main window to stop recording. I recorded about 15 seconds of video.
4. Once I stopped recording, ffdshow (codec) popped up to chose playback option and I selected always use ffdshow
5. I stopped recording - Google Talk which was running crashed.
6. Immediately, IE 8 crashed followed by Firefox
7. My taskbar refreshed and expanded to display application titles to 15 chars.

Pic of the taskbar post crash.[img=http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/4987/scrcap01jul070903.jpg] (http://img73.imageshack.us/i/scrcap01jul070903.jpg/)

I think, one possibility for this behaviour could be the codec.

Thanks,
Vinil

OK Syndication (XviD-tested), but often pop-up "HyperCam 3 Error: Video compression is not ok {}".
Only when the CPU load up, as the media "x264 player or how hard - and those mp3.
I think if the CPU load up HyperCam must skip frames, how does WM Capture Tool for examle with MPEG2.
But the screen real record is less than 8 pixels (width and height).

Hello Charleserion,

Thank you for reply. Seems you have chosen another theme for the answer.
The initial was this (http://www.solveigmm.com/forum/index.php?topic=3864.msg9562#msg9562)

According to the error "HyperCam 3 Error: Video compression is not ok {}",
please send us to support(at)solveigmm(dot)com screenshots of your settings in Audio, Video, Extras tabs of the Options.

Also we need the screenshot of this error message and please specify also on  what stage does this error message appear (the start of record, recording, when you click on pause, continue the recording after pause, stop recording)?

According to the second problem with cracling sound, we need also the screenshots of your setting if they are not as in the posts
Hypercam_fan from February 10, 2012, 01:46:30 am and from February 11, 2012, 12:18:18 am.
And also please specify in  what player do you playback the file after recording.

HyperCam works exactly in such a way.
