The newest VidBlaster beta, version 3.30, was released today in the wild. It has two major changes: a new Screen Capture Module and new Recorder Module that will record to several different formats based on user requests (mkv, ts, mp4, mpg). You can download the Trial Edition and test this new beta for free here (http://forum.vidblaster.com/showthread.php?t=4728).

I'll be reviewing this new beta on today's show (http://www.easternshorebroadcasting.com) at 3 ET/8 UK.

BTW - you can access the beta features (hidden to protect newbies) by holding down CTRL and Shift when selecting a menu. Hidden beta features will appear on the drop down list with other features.

Here's the official feature and bug fix list...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two new modules in this release of VidBlaster: a new, more robust, Recorder II module that introduces several new formats, and a new, light, Screen Capture module that replaces the screen capture capabilities of the old Camera I module and includes capturing of (partially) hidden windows.

I don't think there have been any changes to v3.30 as compared to v3.26 (previous public beta) other than the addition of the Screen Capture Module (aka Window Capture Module), the new Recorder Module and some assorted minor mods. Are you using either of these new modules? What are you doing when CPU is at 100%... recording? streaming? What's your CPU?
