Recording

[CloudStrife]

How do I record a gameplay video in SRB2?

Use FRAPS.

Use FRAPS.

Is that a program, command or guide because I don't even know what FRAPS is.

The trial version of FRAPS will only record up to 30 seconds.

Got it, thanks.

Or STARTMOVIE/STOPMOVIE. ;)

Because we all love having our SRB2 directory flooded with PNGs. I seriously need to find a program to turn all those into an AVI or something.

STARTMOVIE STOPMOVIE doesn't even record sound, does it?

I prefer Fraps. No silly capture regions to set up, it's all automated. Only downside is that it only works within DirectX and OpenGL drawing surfaces.

Yeah. But there is one problem. The video files are huge. I recorded one four minute video and the file size is 1.7GB. Took 9 hours to upload it to YouTube. Now I keep asking for a new hard drive. And no. STARTMOVIE doesn't record sound.

You shouldn't really be uploading fraps files directly to Youtube, run them through Movie Maker or something first.

I'd rather just record a demo and hand it out to people. If they don't know how to run it or can't be bothered to, I don't really give a ****.

Anybody else notice the 3-year bump, though? Funny to see SSNTails was already sarcastic over STARTMOVIE back then.

I got Fraps once, total memory hog. Tried Hypercam, and I got a strange result that nowone else on youtube got: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amySaq94rVc

Ill try Camstudio, by the way, how do I window SRB2?

 

[Chaos Knux]

-win in the command line

 

[Tuner Knightmare]

-win in the command line

Umm, tried that, said "Unknown command '-win' "

 

[Eblo]

Just use the launcher and check the box that says "Windowed Mode".

I ran them through Windows Movie Maker before. For those that have XP(such as me) it screws up the quality. Along with YouTube's crappy uploader which makes the video quality REALLY bad.

I got XP and Movie Maker, there's a trick to getting it in good quality, choose save to computer, and make it DVD quality instead of best playback for your computer, works great for me.

I tried again. It only messed up quality for BlitzSonic videos. It works fine with SRB2 on my new computer for some reason.
