Here is the challenge: Find the Best screencapping program capapble of recording video - take advantage of the time dialiation (enable cheats via "www.freespace2.com" being typed in during the mission and it enables you to lower tiem speed down to 1/4) if you to achieve framerates.

Post results in this thread.  


Preferably compression: Xvid
Audio = BONUS

you want to know which tool's the best? or do you want vid's?

if the first then I can only say FRAPS, has both video/audio

[Lightspeed]

I can use FRAPs and i'd be willing to do something, but the problem is - nothing seems to want to open the files FRAPs is creating. I seem to be missing a codec or something 0.o

[Kazan]

JarC: Vids

i'm actually using video out on my radeon plugged into the video in on my capture card

[Singh]

Looks like a challenge

*goes hunting

[Xelion]

LS what version of Fraps u using because 1.9 is better than 2.0, there might be some problems between them on some systems as well.

[JarC]

some info on FRAPS
1.9 is still freeware but does not allow vid scaling and does not record sound and it runs on most cpu's
2.0 can scale, records sound but ain't free anymore (and you need as minimum a CPU with SSE instructions, P3/P4/Athlon)

both versions produce uncompressed avi.

1.9d

hmmm......
it should be working - dunno why it shouldnt be o_O

[Lightspeed]

MediaPlayer tries to find a codec and says class is not registered, and VirtualDub comes up with this error:

[Unknown Target]

Does it have to be stock FS2?

And what're the keys for the slowmo time thingy? (I never knew the normal time keys in the first place )

[übermetroid]

hey, I could do this.  Whats a good video capture program?

[Kazan]

im actually capping wc saga stuff

Google it...I had the same problem, and had to search quite a while for it, but right now I can't find it again.

[Lightspeed]

I've searched but havent found anything.

It works with WindowsXP (yuck) so i'll just resort to that until I find (if you could find the linky that'd be cool) it.

[J3Vr6]

Lightspeed, you said you could record, right?  How about you record something and put it up to see if anyone else can open it...  That may help you narrow down the problem.

[Lightspeed]

Of course they can. Everyone with WinXP will be able to open it.

All I need is some codec that allows me to show/use YUV12 formats as opposed to RGB formats.

I have a video cap of me playing WCSaga that i'm sending to E3 with inqui - i would put it up for general download but it's 125megs and i know i would easily overload deepbluebettas.com's monthly bandwidth if I posted it for you leeches

I try the fly through the hanger of one of the kilrathi destroyers and my big ass longbow doesn't clear the hanger *collision bounce* DOH!

[Singh]

um......this may sound like a silly question, but how do you end up speeding up the videos once they've been taken in the slow motion build??

[Kazan]

singh: change the framerate in  a postprocessing program like Virtualdub (free ware, good)
