2. Select Build Configuration: **Debug** or **Release**.

3. Open **Artifacts** tab.

4. Download **Zip package**.

## Build Notes

- [Visual Studio 2017](https://visualstudio.com) or greater is recommended.
- .Net Framework v4.6.1 is required.
- For detailed information, see [Building](https://mathewsachin.github.io/Captura/build).

## System Requirements

- Verified on **Windows 10**. Atleast Windows Vista is required.
- If you are on Windows 7 or earlier, make sure Aero is enabled.
- **Desktop Duplication API** is only available on **Windows 8** and above.
- 2 GHz CPU (Recommended).
- 4 GB RAM (Recommended).
- **.Net Framework v4.6.1** is required. You will be prompted to install if it is not already present on your system.
- Using the **FFmpeg Intel QSV HEVC** encoder requires the processor to be **Skylake (6th generation)** or later.
- For using `SharpAvi | Lagarith` codec, the Lagarith codec should be installed on your system and configured to use RGB mode with Null Frames disabled.

## FFmpeg

> It is recommended to always download the latest version of FFmpeg using FFmpeg Downloader. Older versions of FFmpeg can cause unexpected behaviour.

[FFmpeg](http://ffmpeg.org/) is an open-source cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.
It adds support for more output formats like **H.264** for Video and **Mp3**, **AAC** etc. when capturing **Only Audio**.

FFmpeg is configured on the **FFmpeg** section in the **Configure** tab.

Due to its large size (approx. 30MB), it is not included in the downloads.
If you already have FFmpeg on your system, you can just set the path to the folder containing it.
If it is installed globally (available in PATH), you don't have to do anything.
If you don't have FFmpeg or want to update, use the inbuilt **FFmpeg Downloader**.
FFmpeg needs to be downloaded only once.

In cases where the **FFmpeg Downloader** fails, please download manually from <https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/> and set FFmpeg folder in `Configure | FFmpeg`.

If you don't want to use FFmpeg, you can switch to `SharpAvi`.
