context menus (right click menu) doesn't show up in screen recording /video

I really hope some here has experiened this and found a solution

I dont think its Maya itself but all other avenues of solution have been exhuasted and no-one knows whats going on.

I am a 3d lecturer and rely on recorded demonstrations in class.

 

problem;

As of early this year ( 2016) maya right click menus have not been showing up in screen recordings

Fact;

 they were working ( showing up) at one stage in maya ext1 2016 on the same version of maya

Fact;

 This has been the case on multiple ( no encoding required)video capture  programs such as Debut and OBS

Fact;

this has been experienced on multiple machines both at home and at the college

Fact;

they all run windows 7

Fact;

mine worked before windows updates ealry in the year , at the college the updates are automatic and it must have happened earlier

 

My suspicion/hunch is microsoft Windows has changed somthing in their window stack manager that conflicts with mayas New Gui system.

either that or the right clicks z order has a priority conflict

 

If anyone can help out with suggestions or similar experiences, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

cheers.

Ok after a long time I figured it out.

I tried camtasia,debut,OBS, Jing and active presenter.

The problem was really simple but stupid.
It seems that its the codec. Avi doesnt pick up the menus even in preview
A few others are munted but MP4 seem to work fine
cheers
