    It varies, I'm guessing it would be somewhere within your AppData folder, though. To get there:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData
    Replace USERNAME with whatever yours is. Look around in there, if you can't find them put this into the search bar:
    *.avi
    And see if you can find any.
    I'm guessing this is an issue with your setup.
    1. Download the lossless codec from the CamStudio website.
    2. Close CamStudio if it's open.
    3. Extract the files somewhere.
    4. Right-click on camcodec.inf and select Install.
    5. Re-open CamStudio.
    6. Go to Options -> Video Options...
    7. In the Compressor field, hit the dropdown and select CamStudio Lossless Codec, if available. If it's not there, post again and I'll help you get it installed, it can be tricky. Try restarting your computer, first, though.
    8. Turn the Quality slider up to your liking.
    9. Try recording.

    Got it installed with no problems!

    However, while it solved the choppy look, I'm still getting the Waveout error when selecting Record audio from speakers, which, obviously, I need, haha! (Again, see post #17).

    Go to the Volume icon in your system tray and select Recording devices. Do you have a Stereo Mix option listed?

    Right-click and select Show disabled devices, see if it shows up now.

    Just tried that, and nothing came up.

    This is a strange one, huh? XD
