Only 1Sec???

[themulatto]

ok so i downloaded action after i saw a good review on youtube but i can only get one sec recorded????

That's weird... Is the timer set to one second? I believe that the timer is on by default, not sure though

Does this occurs with desktop only or games?

This is happening to me as well. Using Active Screen. It looks like it's recording (the counter ticks on) but when you stop the video is just 1sec long and the thumbnail is white with a 'work in progress/loading' circle.

I found this bandaid fix for the issue.

it happened to me too! i tried everything and nothing worked, until one day!:
I Found The Root solution For this, NO Uninstall or anything else, Simply:
1- CTRL + ALT + DELETE
2- Go to ''Process'' Tab and look for: Action_x86 or Action86.bin
3- You'll Find more than one of them, KILL THEM ALL (: STOP THEM, ANNIHILATE THEM, STOP THEIR HEARTS >:) *stop da process :v*
4- Go to Your ''Action!!'' And there you go, record all you want :*

It seems to happen when recording in Active Screen and doing an Alt+Tab into another application.

I was recording some dosbox game and when I Alt+Tabbed to the desktop to check on recording status I noticed it wasn't recording anymore so I freaked out but it stopped recording when I did the Alt+Tab.
So I'm thinking the 1sec thing is Action! thinking it's supposed to record the desktop but since you're in dosbox it thinks their no signal and stops right away.

Total speculation though

@@#$%#%#%!!!

This happened to me again after 90 minutes of recording and finally completing a mission I had to retry 30 times!!!
I'm seriously about to rage quit this program and use something else.
