Seems to work well :)

Two suggestions:

- In the capture loop you're sleeping the loop with 200 ms. This is only correct if the framerate is 5 (1000 ms / 200 ms = 5). To calculate the correct one you should do something like:

$sleeptime=1000/$Framerate

- To update the filesize properly, keep an internal counter instead of relying on FileGetSize(). The size of one bitmap is easy to calculate:

$BitmapSize=54+3*($width*$height); In bytes

:o

Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file!

Yep Ive done that before but got confused :)

Thanks for your suggestion :D

I also having problem to run it:

ERROR: _CreateAvi() called with wrong number of args.

$AVI = _CreateAvi(@ScriptDir & "\temp.avi", $frame, @TempDir & "\frame.bmp")

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

It is a wrong function usage as i see it...

@MrCreator

Where do you found this ? I need help for AVICapture v1.4.0 because its last udf :)

the first AVICreate function I find is : Line 284

$AVI = _CreateAvi(@ScriptDir & "\temp.avi", $frame, $MW1, $MH1)

Cheers, FireFox.

From the first post :D Now there is a different version, so you probably fixed it :)

Any way, after few seconds of video capturing, the file size is very big (like 300 mb), and aslo the HotKey «Ctrl + F4» is not so good idea, it closes current file (script) opened in SciTE :o

@Firefox, Very good script. I like it a lot. I have found a couple of bugs that I wanted to point out. In the section that controls stoping the capture after a certian amount of time, you forgot to multiply the input by 1000. Its stoping after so many milliseconds, not seconds.

;Global $timer = GUICtrlRead($Edittime)
Global $timer = (GUICtrlRead($Edittime)*1000)

Another thing I wanted to point out is how the _ScreenCapture function takes around 250ms to complete by itself. That means that I can only have a maximum of 3-4 frames per second. If I try to do any more than that I get a video with a time length that is much shorter than the length should be. That being said you might want to remove the options for creating high frame rate videos.
