CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.

1 Copyright 2003 RenderSoft Software * CamStudio Lossless Codec is a very fast codec optimized for screen capture app lications. * It operates in RGB mode and is able to compress 16, 24 or 32 bit RGB bitmaps. * It supports temporal compression and is able to render the movies with perfect quality. * A application that work nicely this codec is the CamStudio Screen Recorder. Th is can be downloaded at http://www.rendersoftware.com * CamStudio codec is able to compress using two lossless compression algorithms : LZO and GZIP. * The LZO algorithm is very fast and is best used for screen capturing. * The GZIP (zlib) algorithm is most useful when you are converting / recompressi ng an existing AVI file with CamStudio codec. The small file size produced with the GZIP (zlib) algorithm makes it ideal for a rchiving purposes. When encoding with a third party application, you will have to enable / force ke yframes to take advantage of this codec's temporal compression. Otherwise every frame will be stored as a key frame and the resulting file size will be very big. * The source code for this codec is available at http://www.rendersoftware.com/p roducts/camstudio/codecs.htm and is released under the GNU General Public License, v2. The code is for Visual C++ 5.0 / 6.0. * This codec is based on the LZO compression library by Markus Franz Xaver Johan nes Oberhumer, zlib compression library by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler, and the HUFFYUV codec by Ben Rudiak-Gould. * Bugs and limitations : This codec may display some artifacts when it is played with CamStudio Player 2. 0/2.1 in some systems. These artifacts do not appear when it is used with Windows Media Player or other well-known AVI players.
