Every time I try recording in camtasia Starcraft BW videos(pressing F7 like i chose) my Starcraft Broodwar minimize tho screwing up my recording and after i try to bring it up back again the recording is screwed(i can only see some black and white dots moving). So the question is: What kind of settings should i do to prevent my SC BW minimize after i click record button.I am using 6.0.1. Thank you, I already searched forums but I did not find a solution to my problem

I don't know anything about Camtasia, but have you tried the recording plugin for ChaosLauncher yet?
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

Do a quick recording with the window at the top left and size at 640x480; then use the hotkey for record using last area when you're in-game.

There's also a checkbox for "Minimize when starting recording", I think, so make sure you have that unchecked.
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?

Make sure the following are checked

Hid capture rectangle
Report dropped frames
Capture layered windows
Disable screen saver during capture
Restore cursor location after pause
Force popup dialogs into the recording area
Minimize to system tray during recording
*Always

Use GunCam for recording? Simpler and less problems than Camtasia.

not good enough quality tbh. All the fpvods ive seen on guncam sorta suck compared to Camtasia(probably is just me though idk)

Also you can't find any "free" guncams, or they are extremely hard to find, one that's not available in bountifuls

Errr, the quality is dependant on the codec/compression setup, not the recording program. (unless the program does some coding while merging files or something, like camtasia does - god I hated that about camtasia) Plus, if you've seen videos on youtube, they might have been aditionally messed up by youtube's coding.

Fraps isn't compatabile with EVERYONE's computers. For instance, mine will start lagging like hell for no reason when I start to record with fraps
