How to capture region area as video and do not resize in VBScript and VB6 and ByteScout Screen Capturing SDK

The tutorial below will demonstrate how to capture region area as video and do not resize in VBScript and VB6

Capture region area as video and do not resize is easy to implement in VBScript and VB6 if you use these source codes below. ByteScout Screen Capturing SDK: the SDK for developers for quick implementation of screen video recording. The SDK records screen into video or into a series of screenshots. Can also record audio. Saves video into AVI,WMV and Google’s WebM. Output video quality, size, resolution or framerate can be adjusted easily. Provides additional tools for privacy features like blacking out on scren areas with sensitive information on screen right during recording. Supports web camera as input and can add instant text and images into video output. It can capture region area as video and do not resize in VBScript and VB6.

This rich sample source code in VBScript and VB6 for ByteScout Screen Capturing SDK includes the number of functions and options you should do calling the API to capture region area as video and do not resize. Just copy and paste the code into your VBScript and VB6 application’s code and follow the instruction. Test VBScript and VB6 sample code examples whether they respond your needs and requirements for the project.

CapturePredefinedRegionAndDoNotResize.vbs

      ' create video capturer activex object
Set capturer = CreateObject("BytescoutScreenCapturing.Capturer")

' set output video file name (WMV), you can also set to AVI 
capturer.OutputFileName = "CaptureScreenVbs.wmv" 

' set capturing type to the caRegion =0 to capture the given region
capturer.CapturingType = 0


' set left coordinate of the rectangle to capture from
capturer.CaptureRectLeft = 10
' set top coordinate of the rectangle to capture from
capturer.CaptureRectTop = 100

' set width of the rectangle to capture from
capturer.CaptureRectWidth = 720
' set height of the rectangle to capture from
capturer.CaptureRectHeight = 200

' the code below is commented as output width and height will be set automatically by MatchOutputSizeToTheSourceSize = true from the source region's width and height
' set width of the output video
' capturer.OutputWidth = 640
' set height of the output video
' capturer.OutputHeight = 480

' sets the output width and height of the video to the source region size
' IMPORTANT: some width and height combinations may fail with the video due to video codecs limitations on supporting different width and height 
' so in our case output video will be 720x200 (the same size as the capture region)
' this option is turned OFF by default (captured video is resied to .OutputWidth and .OutputHeight size)
capturer.MatchOutputSizeToTheSourceSize = true

' uncomment to enable recording of semitransparent or layered windows (Warning: may cause mouse cursor flickering)
' capturer.CaptureTransparentControls = true

' set border type to show around captured area
capturer.CaptureAreaBorderType = 2 ' CaptureAreaBorderType.cabtDashed;


' uncomment to set Bytescout Lossless Video format output video compression method
' do not forget to set file to .avi format if you use Video Codec Name
' capturer.CurrentVideoCodecName = "Bytescout Lossless"


MsgBox "This script will record video from the screen from region (100,100, 420, 350) for 15 seconds. Output video will go to PredefinedRegionCaptured.avi"

' run video capturing 
capturer.Run()


' IMPORTANT: if you want to check for some code if need to stop the recording then make sure you are 
' using Thread.Sleep(1) inside the checking loop, so you have the loop like
' Do 
' Thread.Sleep(1) 
' While StopButtonNotClicked

' wait for 15 seconds (15000 msec)
WScript.Sleep(3000)

' stop capturing
capturer.Stop()

' destroy Capturer object so the video will be saved into the disk
Set capturer = Nothing
