[HOWTO]Resizing the recording area  

[HOWTO]Resizing the recording area

In the main screen of oCam, there is a button called Resize.

A popup menu will appear as shown below.

 


The yellow highlighted area in the pop-up menu indicates the resolution of the recording area, and clicking on the menu item will change the size of the recording area to the selected resolution.

 


The maximum resolution supported is 4k by default, and up to 8k for MPEG-4 codec only.

If you click the full screen menu item, the recording area is set to the entire screen. If you start recording in this state, the entire screen is recorded.

The Find Recording Window menu item displays the window indicated by the mouse pointer as a red rectangle box when clicked. If clicked, the area of ​​the window indicated by the mouse pointer is designated as the recording area.

Find Record Destination window is useful when you want to record or capture only a specific window.

Custom size menu item can be clicked and user can input the size of recording area by number as follows.



Additional tips

[HOWTO]Setting up oCam - Record - General tab

Click Tools-Options in the oCam menu to display the following settings window. Learn about the Recording-General tab.

 
Include the cursor

- It is checked by default. If checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is included. If not checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is not included.

 

 


Hide drag cursor in recording area

-By default, the check is cleared. If checked, the drag cursor in the middle of the recording area disappears.


Frames Per Second (FPS)
- It is set to 30 by default and can be up to 120 FPS. 30 FPS is suitable for recording general screens. It is recommended to record 60 FPS or more for racing games or games that change screens rapidly during game recording.


Among the built-in codecs, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 codecs are fixed at 30 FPS without being affected by the codec setting.

Keyframe interval
- By default, it is set to 5. If the keyframe interval is 5, keyframes are generated every 5 seconds, if 1, every 1 second, if 2, every 2 seconds, if n, then every second.

Decoder Resolution Compatibility
- Some video players have a problem with blurry playback of video files that are not set to a specific resolution size. (For example, bear player)

By default, the width is set to a multiple of 8, and the vertical is set to a multiple of 4. If the horizontal size of the recording area specified by the user does not fit to the multiple of 8, it is forced to a multiple of 8. The vertical size of the recording area does not fit to the multiple of 4. If not, the vertical size is applied in multiples of four.

For example, if the decoder resolution is set to "multiple of 8 and vertical of 4" and the recording area is 427x241, the horizontal size is 427, but since it is not divided by 8, the horizontal resolution is corrected to divide by 8 Is 424, and the vertical size is not divided by 4, so it is applied to 240 so that the recording area is finally set to 424x240.
