i want to start doing some recording in eve and tf2 and I'm just wondering what you guys recommend i know of fraps but IIRC there is a limit on length in the free version any alternatives?

there's WeGame. It's pretty nice, has an SD and HD option. Has support for most games out there too.

But other than that I'm not really sure, I know livestream lets you make recordings, though to be honest I think that it probably takes too much system memory to be worth it. |

Full version of Fraps came free with my video card. I've never really had reason to use it though.

using any program like that is going to lag you to crap, your best bet is to hope for recording utilizing the game engine so there is minimal performance loss (a la halo, source games, most modern shooters, etc etc), and then play it all back with wegame running at a later date.
fraps sucks because afaik it literally tries to record massive uncompressed avi's. ie it's recording dozens of jiggabytes of photage per minute running your game in smaller-than-full-resolution should also help you out a lot. Say you want to record footage at 720p. There's really no reason whatsoever to run at a res higher than 1280x720. I'd imagine the downsampling itself will also eat away at performance, so you should probably refrain from running at a res higher than what you're recording. And since I doubt this is any high budget stuff, you can probably get away with 480p (what, that's like 480x270 or something dumb like that?) Ripped like paper raped with ease hey scrub nerd pyros suck on these |

Performance shouldn't be too bad if you keep the video framerate to record at 24-30 FPS and not higher than 1280x720 (your game resolution and video recording res). It's pointless to record higher than that since 99% of all video content will play back at that speed/res at the most anyways. If you don't need HD then lower the res even further.
Note that you'll still want a decent bit of hard drive space, and processor speed to record stuff. Having a quad core helps, and raw movie footage goes at about 500mb-1GB per minute depending on what settings you record with. |

yeah i could drop down my resolution in game, but i sucks playing eve with less screen space, and that's mostly what i want to record for
i have a quad core @3.4 ghz and about a terabyte of free space (04-09-2013, 11:24 PM)Dr. Zaius link Wrote:well i'm not really understanding how it's faster internet. and like google just magically rolls outs this stuff and it's 100 times faster than my internet? why? that doesn't set off any alarms to anyone?

wtf yo? What version of fraps are you using... I can capture mt TF2 @ 50fps 1920x1080 w/o any problem...
Are you recording to the same drive on which your game files reside, by any chance?

bumping this cause i figure it's better than starting a new topic
got a new hard drive and recording works pretty well so i have this file recorded from fraps and when i upload it to youtube it gets really dark and it gets pretty shitty quality wise (just watched a 720p video of more sharpness.) file is an .avi, i'm not sure what codec fraps uses. i have a feeling i need to be encoding this or something before i let youtube deal with it can anyone help me out here? putting this here Encoding and Creating Youtube HD video clips using Fraps clips (04-09-2013, 11:24 PM)Dr. Zaius link Wrote:well i'm not really understanding how it's faster internet. and like google just magically rolls outs this stuff and it's 100 times faster than my internet? why? that doesn't set off any alarms to anyone?

what software are you using to do your vids zane ? just virtualdub ?
if you want some measure of quality you're going to have to up your software to something like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. |
