So you want to make a Video of your gameplay - details inside (works for vista as wel

FRAPS is what i use to record the game - latest version supports vista now in all its glory (highly recommend buying it and it is well worth the small amount of cash)

Prism is great to convert the huge .avi fraps videos to a smaller .mpg file size while still keeping the resolution (free)

Movica works great to combine and/or split multiple video files (free)

K-Lite Codecs Video and/or Audio Codecs may be needed - K-Lite has every Codec you would ever need! (free)

i run Vista Ultimate 64-Bit and these programs work great, high resolution and quality sound - XP will have no problem with these as well

i just converted and combined 3 .AVIs (9 gigs total size) down to a handy .mpg 340MB file size with sound and a resolution of 1680x1050

bumb to top...someone asked about it

[SilentTrigger]

Sounds great, thanks.

One problem I have though is that I use a laptop so the drives operate at 5000 something RPM so I can only get at tops 30 FPS in game while recording Still faster then the 7000 something stationary computer hard drive though hehe

Would be nice to have raptor discs but they cost too much

I like the sound of that compression though! wmv has a big decrease in quality

[Brock Sherwood]

yeah i use .mpg and my videos i dont drop the resolution down either so it still looks good when i convert a 4 gig .avi to a 120 mb .mpg

Will try to check it out
