Microsoft Releases Updated "Community Clips" Video Training Recorder

 
Microsoft has released a new version of the Community Clips recorder. If you have a previous version of the recorder installed, you should receive an upgrade notification within 24 hours. (Thanks Sunil)
There are Two Main Updates:
 
    • Some of you have received the “Unable to get installer type…” error during install. This error was due the recorder’s dependency on Office 2007. We’ve removed this dependency from the recorder in this release. If you do not have Office 2007 you can still install the recorder and record clips from the systray icon. If you have Office 2007 you’ll continue to use the recording controls in the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). Let us know if you have any issues during installation.
    • We’ve changed the recording profile used by the recorder. We had previously used high audio bitrates for recording which increased the file size of the recorded video. This was unnecessary since audio in the clips is mostly speech. So we have reduced the audio bitrate to reduce the file size. Additionally we’ve fine tuned the video frame rates that we capture. This reduces the file size further. We’ve tried to reduce the file size without compromising on the quality of the video captured. We would love to get feedback from you regarding how these changes impact the recording quality.
