Compression settings for screen captures

When capturing screens, you should use a screen capture profile. The profile uses settings that are optimized for screen capture, including using the Windows Media Video Screen codec. To use a screen capture profile, go to the Compression tab. In Destination, click either Windows Media server or Web server, and then click Screen capture.

In addition, you have a number of options for configuring the encoding session and your computer to improve performance when capturing screens. For more information, see Improving performance when encoding screens.
