Video capturing

[hazzer2007]

Now I have a better computer then my last one (3 Ghz, 1 GB ram, etc against 1.2 Ghz 512 MB ram), I want to try capturing video (what you see on the screen) from planetside and create an outfit movie.

So basically, can anyone help with info, + what is the best FREE video capturing software (link please)

PLEASE no rubbish like "You have to pay for the best software" or "What�s the point", or "I have a better computer than you", etc. Just answer the question please.

Thanks

VCR i think becausew it does not affect your FPS at all Fraps brings your FPS down to like 4 on sny computer so dont use that.

[DaShiznit]

Yeah, but where can you get a copy of that?

You have to buy the recording software, so there's not point.

Also, my computer is better than yours.


Being serious: Fraps is the only recording program that I know of.

[hazzer2007]

just tryed it, wont start recording.

[hazzer2007]

dont worry, got it fixed. drops my fps from 50 to 20 though, but that is normal for a free software right?

[hazzer2007]

only does 30s though, anyway to increase it?

That's as good as it'll get unfortunately.
Oh and !

Fraps will kill your FPS because it's taking up resources to get smooth video. So it's ok unless you plan on fighting.

with a system like that youre better off gettin a video cap. card and using the TV-Out on your vid card to connect to a TV+VCR and then use the cap. card to record back to the PC. no lag outside of what you get regularly.

sounds intresting but i dont have the money or the intelegence

You can buy external video capture devices (which use USB(2)). The problem with S-Video/etc capture is where Fraps requires a quick press of f9, you'd have either leave your TV-Out running all the time (might not be a bad thing) or have fast hands (or preplanned events)
