Game Screen Recorder?

[rocketman]

Are there any FREE game Recorders out there worth getting? I would like to make some videos. I think it would be good to show people some epic gameplay

if you know any would be great thanks.

Fraps

You can use Xfire to record ingame records. For professional videos Fraps is still the way to go, but it's not free (you can hax it though).

Some games support in-game recording, like CSS and Wolfenstein: ET. You just have to look for the right console commands.

It doesn't render them though.

I use Wegame. Works nice. Free.

This comes up a lot. FRAPS is the best, but not free. My free choice would be Xfire. All others suck.

Piratebay.org>>>Fraps.Free.

The video's size are too heavy but it's a good tool (hmm, 3 minutes of Age of empire video=3,1 Giga, wat?)

yea when i record with fraps it does tend be be about 1 gb or 2gb. I just tend to put it in movie maker and tell it to shrink it to about 70 or 80 mb

That's because fraps records uncompressed video. It can't compress the videos during the recording because that would hurt computer performance even more.

heres what i use

Game recording: Fraps (full )

Deskopt recording: Hypercam 3 (full again)

Editing: Sony vegas 9 pro (full)

effects: after effects (full)

i recommend Fraps, yes it makes big file, but thats why we got over 1 tr (1000gb) harddisks.

heres couple tips with it

1. use 30 FPS. yes it makes your game laggier and IF thats problem, use 50fps

2. IF possible save captured videos to other hard drive than fraps installed, not sure why it makes better, but in fraps forums this tip is #1

3. If game starts lagg like hell suddenly when recording, stop recording -> clear save folder -> try again

And i hardly recommend saving files with movie maker or whatever you use. as an .wav, small file with medium qualitu. BUT if you are going to but it youtube, check tuts from there

Well, when I do it in movie maker, I get a really weird video format. Its contains 5 big letters. No idea how to make an .avi instead of that shit.

I ended up getting this one called wegame http://www.wegame.com/watch/gta-san-andreas-derby/

It's quite good. Thats just a test video. Nothing fancy lol.

I used to use wegame. But it's a shame it can only be used on wegame and wegame alone. Not youtube, vimeo ect.

I haxed Fraps since someone posted a link in another topic. Works nice.

everything is free if you can find the right source but yeah fraps is really good.

EDIT: now that we're talking about recording, how can you record stuff in like MW where you can freely move through the map to see yourself in a different angle (check frag movies to see what I mean)

sry for if this is noobish . if you mean CoD modern warfare, you need special mod... cant remember name. in source you can use source TV to see yourself, or ask that server records demos

It's probably a command in console.
