Ok, let me explain things thoroughly first. I have a Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse, and as you know, the scroll-wheel on that mouse can "tilt" left and right. I normally use scroll-wheel click to zoom in, but with a G5 clicking on the darn wheel is really hard. So I tilt my wheel to the left to zoom. And all works well.

But when I turn Gamecam on, that gets disabled somehow. I can still zoom in by clicking the wheel, but now, remember, it's too much of a hassle. Also, pressing Z limits my finger motions. So I NEED that wheel tilt, especially when I'm trying to pwn whilst recording.

Anyone have any ideas what's going on? Any help/answer is greatly appreciated.

P.S. Don't give me a pathetic 1-liner post saying "use Fraps". FFS, PLEASE don't do that. If you do, I'll eternally hate you for being ignorant.

I have a Logitech mouse that has the wheel tilt (not the gaming mouse), and it doesn't work with recording programs either. However, mouse wheel up or down works well. Might give that a try.

yes, use mouse wheel up and down, you can bind them. I use them to switch grenades and weapons respectively. But the G5 is crap because you only get one side button and they are really helpful in game, truly, I want more than my mx518 has.

I second the notion of using scroll up or down for zoom. That's what I do, it really feels most natrual to me.

In most online shooters, I would rather right-click my mouse to zoom in my weapons, but for Halo I click down my mouse-wheel. I should try moving the wheel to zoom sometime.

Try to look for a fix or a patch for your mouse if there is one that may fix this.
