Problem: “Error: Could not open video encoder” when trying to screen capture using “H264/MPEG-4 AVC” and when trying to export to MP4. I had no problem with version 6.x, now that I am using version 7, I am seeing this error. I am able to record using defaults settings and export to other formats, but I need to export to MP4 for compatibility.
