as compared to an AVI screen recording.

Recent Folder Shortcuts:
You can now open a screen recording directly without
having to add a folder shortcut. My Screen Recorder
Pro automatically creates a folder shortcut under
Recent Shortcuts and loads the file in the preview
window. You then have an option to convert this
to a folder shortcut. |

you to drag and drop files between the different
folder shortcuts. It also provides you with options

recordings as an Executable. My Screen Recorder
Pro further compresses your AVI screen recordings
to generate self-playing redistributable executable
files. When your audience receives the executable,
they simply have to double click it to view. The
built in AVI player will show your screen recordings
without any distortion unlike other AVI players.
|

Audio Tuning Wizard:
This new feature lets you fine-tune your audio
playback and recording level in 2 simple steps.

menu and follow the instructions for each step. |

Q. |
The minimum systems
requirements include microsoft directX 8.1.
How would I know if I have that? |

To know the correct DirectX
version installed on your computer:
|
|
| |
|
| 1. |
On the Start menu,
click 'Run'. |
| 2. |
Type in "dxdiag"
to bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
|
| 3. |
The DirectX version
is listed under the System tab. |
|
|
| |
|
In general, DirectX 8.1
comes pre-installed with Windows XP.
DirectX 7.0 comes pre-installed with Windows 2000.

Article : Trouble Shooting Compatibility Problems |
|
|
|
| Video Edit Magic
uses the Microsoft DirectShow technology, a part of
DirectX to edit the videos, display on-the-fly preview,
add Video effects and transitions and almost every other
feature. DirectShow is an efficient technology that
harnesses hardware capabilities of a computer to deliver
optimum results. |
|
| This technology
is also highly extensible. Various software vendors,
using the DirectShow technology, develop filters (or
plug-ins) to extend the capabilities of DirectShow for
their own products. For instance, Video Edit Magic has
its own Color Balance effect filter that manages the
Contrast, Brightness and Gamma of a video. |
|
| In the same way,
other software vendors may write other filters like,
say, an MPEG decoder to read MPEG files. The software
vendor’s own product works well with these filters,
but they end up overwriting the default filters provided
by DirectShow. In this example, DirectShow and hence
Video Edit Magic will pick up the software vendor’s
MPEG filter rather than the default one when you try
to edit MPEG files resulting in a possible incompatibility.
|
|
| Well-developed
filters work correctly with DirectShow and thus with
all products using DirectShow. The single largest reason
that causes Video Edit Magic to function unexpectedly
is “incompatible filters”, usually installed
by other providers. |
