Video Reccorders

I use FRAPS also because its so easy to navigate. There is literally 2 buttons you need to remember. "Record" and "Stop"

That is if you set the screen shot button to the regular print screen button. It almost guarantees a screen shot every time, and if you loose it or do something to it, its always somewhere else.

GameCam sucks. I hate it. There was like a wall of radio buttons to memorize all with different functions. No thanks.

FRAPS FTW!:cool:

Just bought the license for Fraps. It's a hog, but luckily my system can take it. I've got C2D 6750@3,2GHz and 8800GTS 640MB. It can take full screen video @ 60fps with 4xAA on no problems, BUT I had to scale it to half screen size because HD is literally being eaten up by the raw data. For that I'd like to see Fraps to come up with some compression in the future.

I have to agree with 13cent here. The ease of use is very good.

I don't think FRAPS has any compression feature in mind. It is designed so that you can compress it on your own.

Besides, just throw it in Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas or premier if you have it. Put all the data together, and compress the whole movie.
It turns up around 30MB for a 7 minute movie for me, and awesome quality.:cool:

I just wish Fraps would give you an option to use compression. That would be very good.

Although the MovieMaker, while being very easy to use, lowers the fps to 25. And that sucks. One thing that is easy is editing in it and adding your own soundtracks.

I use VirtualDub (free and excellent tool), so I can choose the codec and everything else myself also.

? use Sony Vegas and Adobe sound booth and CuBase for sound editing and Sony Vegas for movie making. Vegas dosn't slow the FPS down at all. So I've never had a problem.

FRAPS said ont he website that the material recorded is raw to get the best in-game quality, performance and FPS, there is no time or place for compression on the fly.

GameCam compresses on the fly, but to get my head around all that would take months.
I just finnished the Cubase tutorials...I don't need to read and listen to more :wacko:
