We had similar problems. The default codec in Camtasia has a 2 gig
limit - when you get there the app just shuts down - no warning, no
saved file. You can change the codec though if your recording for a
long time with a lot of screen movement -
From within Camtasia you can do some simple editing, then output the
file as any of a bunch of formats, streaming, etc.
