Dead After Long Time Recording?

Although SCREEN2SWF is designed to recording minutes level short tutorials, but it still support video over hours in theory.

Some users report that SCREEN2SWF dead after, for example, half hour or 1 hour, recording. And we spend some time to find what’s wrong and turns out to find no error in their.

The reason the users feel no response is, SCREEN2SWF will process a ‘parsing’ work after recording to build an index table for editing. This will take several seconds if the video is not too long. But when the video is over 1 hour, this process could take over 1 minute to go. And during it, user can not click on any button, looks like dead in interface. Look carefully, the progress bar are still running until parsing over.
