oCam Closes Automatically a Few Seconds After Launching

When trying to record with oCam, a specific issue may occur if an online video lecture site is running. This problem is usually caused by anti-recording software used by the site to protect its content. Below is a detailed explanation of the issue and how to handle it.


Online video lecture sites often use anti-recording software to protect copyrighted content. This software detects recording programs such as oCam and force-closes them at regular intervals. As a result, oCam may not be able to continue recording normally or may close unexpectedly.


To resolve this issue, you need to contact the online video lecture site directly where you want to record. Ask the site operator whether recording is allowed and check their related policy. If necessary, request permission to record. Some sites may allow recording under certain conditions or provide a way to temporarily disable the anti-recording feature.


Attempts to bypass issues caused by anti-recording software may violate the site's terms of use, so it is important to follow the site's policy. Therefore, if you want to record lecture content with oCam, first consult the site administrator and follow the proper procedure.

VirtualDVD Troubleshooting Guide

Cause of the Problem

The main cause of issues in VirtualDVD is usually a conflict with third-party CD-ROM-related filter drivers installed on the system, such as UpperFilters or LowerFilters. These drivers can interfere with the normal operation of virtual drives.

How to Fix It

You can resolve the issue by following the steps below. Please proceed carefully.

1. Open the Registry Editor

  • Click the Windows Start menu.
  • Type regedit in the search box or Run dialog, then click OK to open the Registry Editor.

2. Go to the Registry Path

  • In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
  • This path contains settings related to the CD/DVD drive class.

3. Delete the Filter Drivers

  • If you see UpperFilters or LowerFilters in that location:
  • Right-click each entry and select Delete.
  • Before deleting them, it is recommended to back up any important data.
  • Deleting both entries increases the likelihood of resolving the issue completely.

4. Restart Windows

  • Close the Registry Editor.
  • Restart your computer to apply the changes.
  • After restarting, run VirtualDVD again and check whether it works normally.

Additional Notes

  • Editing the registry can have a significant effect on your system, so be careful not to delete the wrong entries.
  • If the problem continues, contact VirtualDVD support or try updating to the latest version.
  • Removing third-party software, such as other virtual drive programs, may help prevent additional conflicts.

Most filter driver-related issues can be resolved by following the steps above. Proceed carefully so you can use VirtualDVD smoothly!
