The newer version (2020) don't work with the Vfw C library anymore. Can't open the codec as compressor.
Previous version (x264vfw_full_44_2851bm_44825.exe from 2017) worked perfectly.

The new two part codec downloads x264 vfw 2.00 don't work anymore to configure screen video capture tool CamStudio (camstudio.org) in Windows 8 (64) or Windows 7 (64), the old one x264vfw_full_44_2851bm_44825 from 2017 still was recognized to configure.

Avast antivirus will stop de installation because it detect it as a threat, maybe a false positive, I don't know, no problem of this kind with previous versions of the program.

Another project alternative is x264vfw by masternobody, has a GUI simplified (I love her) and seemingly more actively developed than Komisar's version.

This is a great little codec, saved me loads of time in saving long HD clips. My other option to save long HD clips from Vegas Pro was to frameserve the output from the timeline to an x264 client that would accept frameserved images, but no need for that with this codec. Great job, well done to the developer!
