What to Do If the "Failed to get path of 64-bit Common Files directory" Error Occurs When Installing oCam
Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →
In some cases, you may need to modify the Windows Registry to fix an oCam setting or issue. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use the Registry Editor to add the required key values.
1. Press Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type `regedit` in the Run dialog box and click the 'OK' button to launch the Registry Editor.
3. When the Registry Editor opens, follow the instructions in the video below to complete the required settings:
4. As instructed in the video, add the following Registry key values:
- CommonFilesDir: `C:\Program Files\Common Files`
- ProgramFilesDir: `C:\Program Files`
5. After adding the Registry key values, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer to apply the changes.
Because editing the Registry directly affects system settings, it is important to back up the Registry before making changes or follow the instructions in the video exactly. The added key values help oCam reference the correct file paths and can be useful for resolving certain installation or launch issues. After completing the steps, run oCam and check whether the problem has been resolved.

How do I record in ultra-high quality (lossless)?
Generally, recorded video is usually compressed, which can cause some color loss compared to the original screen.
If you want to record in lossless mode, you can use the Lagarith Lossless Video external codec.
You can download it from the following address.
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
After downloading, install it as shown below.
If oCam is already running, restart it. Then in the oCam main window, click Codec - External Codec, check the Use External Codec box,
and select Lagarith Lossless Video from the list.
After selecting it, click Settings. The settings window opens as shown below. Usually you can leave it as is, but you can adjust it according to your environment.
Note that this codec produces visually lossless video, but the resulting files are very large and decoding takes a long time, which may cause playback stuttering.
Therefore, this codec is generally better suited for editing purposes.
