How to Set Recording Quality ( From High Quality to Low Quality )
Note: This setting does not apply to external codecs and only applies to oCam's built-in codecs. Lowering the recording quality will reduce the size of the recorded video file, but the video quality will also decrease.
There is a menu at the top of oCam. Click Tools - Options, then click Encoding on the left, and you can select the quality as shown below. By default, it is set to Very High (high quality).
You can choose from the following quality levels when recording.
Below are captured preview images showing the recorded quality from Very High to Very Low.

The "Failed to initialize sound library." Error Appears When Recording Starts
When recording with oCam, sound-related errors may occur. To prevent this, it is important to first check whether sound playback is working properly on your PC. If you try to record on a PC where sound playback is not available, an error is likely to occur. Below is a detailed explanation of how to record with oCam in an environment where sound playback is unavailable and how to configure the settings to avoid errors.
If sound is not playing properly on your PC, you can solve the problem by disabling oCam's system audio recording feature. Please follow the steps below:
1. Launch the oCam main window.
2. In the main window, click the 'Sound' button.
3. When you click it, a pop-up menu will appear, and in most cases the 'Record System Audio' option will be checked by default.
4. Click the 'Record System Audio' item to uncheck it.
With this setting, oCam will not try to record system audio, so you can continue recording without errors even on a PC where sound playback is not available. This setting is especially useful in environments where system audio is not output due to sound driver problems or hardware issues.
Before recording, always check the sound playback status of your PC and apply the setting above if necessary to create a stable recording environment. If you want to resolve the sound playback issue more fundamentally, updating the sound driver or checking the device's sound settings is also a good approach.
