How to record using Camstudio?
I can play the game well, but whenever I record the full screen using Camstudio, the video that I play back only takes up a tiny portion of the upper-left hand side of the screen. I've tried running the game in the small window, and while that has worked, it makes making a "Lets Play" of QFG2 very annoying. Can some please help?

Re: How to record using Camstudio?
Camstudio has a "Region" menu which allows you to drag a rectangular marquee over the area you want to capture if you play the game in windowed mode. This is recommended for recording game footage, because it's less processor intensive.
Camstudio also has "Fixed Screen" and "Full Screen" options which you could try. However, Fraps seems better suited to AGS games, as long as you use the Direct3D driver in winsetup.exe when recording the game. Though, Fraps isn't free.

The shareware version of Fraps only records like 30 seconds or something and puts http://www.fraps.com on the top of the video as a watermark.
Stupid. Should be free.

Playing the game in that tiny window is very hard. Is there anything I can do to record the full screen without it being so small? Like change my screen resolution?

Try running winsetup.exe and changing the resolution to 640x400. That will make the window larger.

You mean, change the resolution of my screen to 640x400? That's easy enough to do. Thanks!

No. Change the resolution of the GAME in winsetup.exe in the game folder. This will double the game window size.

You still having trouble at all? I did a Let's Play of this game just fine with Camstudio.
