Help with Hypercam.

[SsJMonkey]

I have hypercam 2 but there are problems.

I have a decently fast computer but when im recording with hypercam it goes super slow, even when I lower the framerate.

Can sombody give me some pointers on how to fix this.

This problem applies to pretty much all recording software. You see, when you're recording, the program also has to do a lot of on-the-fly compression. If you're using a more complex codec, you're going to get slower results. Typically it's best to use the lossless codec that comes bundled with the program. FRAPS has its own codec (which is always used for recording), as does CamStudio. If your software doesn't have one, you could try Microsoft Video 1. That doesn't take too much time to encode, so you'll get decent performance. Unfortunately, due to the codec's age, you will only be able to record paletted videos (256-colors max).

If you're using a lossless codec or Microsoft Video 1 and you're still getting poor performance, you may need a better processor.

I have used fraps and it works well on my pc and dosent slows it down much.

But fraps only recors 30 seconds.

If you pay, you can get unlimited recording time.

I use snagit for all my recordings I make, it has a pretty good FPS which is customizeable which I like.
Honestly... I've actually looked on google for a keygen/crack for mine to get past the 30 day trial.
