I bought this awesome computer so that I may be able to make game play videos of myself and others.

However I have been incredibly lazy but seeing sosarian and aderyn post some videos sparked up why I bought this computer.

These are my first recordings using fraps.  What I want to accomplish is a base quality on what to record this game at for future videos.

Here is what I use for these first two:

After I uploaded them I realized that I couldn't view them at high quality even though the quality looked great from the mpeg.  I was getting 90fps while recording.  Maybe I should try full size instead of half size for recording.

Oh and here are my comp specs.  Feel free to tell me if I can easily upgrade something to make recording easier/better.

Flame on!

What's your computer spec?

When I've attempted to record battles with fraps at 1080 res over 30fps with 100 people or more, the video freezes often.

30 fps should be fine for record.

Try full screen, that half screen setting is messing up the chat when I try to view it in full screen mode. Note, files will likely be 4x as big due to this.

Yes I know.  I am going to upload a test one.

If that doesn't work...

Dunno, don't see any compression settings for the video on the free fraps version.

There was some other freebie out there that you could save uncompressed and upload to a site.. wegame .. but I think they smartened up and made it more restrictive, or simply stopped recording 'temp' uncompressed avi's.

Here's an open source alternative...
http://camstudio.org/

It takes a bit of fiddling to get just right. And if you know nothing about codecs, have no way to compress the videos, etc, it may not be for you. It can however save uncompressed avi's which you can later use to find your best quality - again though uncompressed avi's are going to eat up hard drive space pretty quickly.
Last I heard, and this may have changed, YouTube will recompress 'large' videos. I suppose there is vimeo.

Lol duh, take it if OFF 'half size' if you want any sort of decent quality video.

Also the cool thing about fraps is that buffer.  You can capture stuff that happened 30 seconds ago, so record all your badass moments

Here this one I recorded on full size.  Still looks kind of grainy though.

That's what my fraps setting is as well, if you want better quality go to the nvidia gpu setting and move the slider under the nvidia logo to quality, I know when I did this the chat and kill list got a lot more crisp. And all you need for crpg is the texture quality, and maybe character as well but everything else gets in the way.

Explain how this buffer works if you would Digglez...I'm interested.

So here is my problem...

I am trying to record at a higher rate butfraps makes it separate every 4 gb's.

So now I recorded Rhaelys one round in spectator.  However it is two files. I have to figure out how to merge them upload them to youtube.

One suggestion: Don't label your videos with 'Menstrual Monsoon'.

I had some truly horrifying recommended videos pop up immediately after watching  :shock:

if you still have your old pc, you can try and connect it to your main one, and record picture from main pc, that way you will have no fps issues while recording in the highest settings in fraps, than just download handbrake and compress fraps videos with it

that way you will have game like quality on youtube

btw nice kills for a shielder ;]

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks though I thought I would never get a compliment about something like that since everyone on here hates me. :)

Here is another test video featuring Rhaelys.

Seems like the quality looks pretty good. 

Now I gotta figure out a program for editing.

Full size definitely looks better, I also like to record in 60fps. It takes up a lot of harddrive space, but I used another harddrive from an old computer to store it.

I like to render the frame size down to 29.97, makes for a smoother video at least for me.

Its just not the recording quality, but what you use to process the video. :wink: I like to use adobe premiere

I lied....  I just have been very busy.  I recorded two more late saturday night after I got home from a big party/bonfire.  Seems like all kinds of folks were on my teamspeak many of them I never talked to before.

They also seemed as drunk as myself.
