What settings should I take? Because I have the next problem: When I record things like "Black Rebel - Kagamine Rin" on insane it will become very slow, like, you see when I click and stuff, but it's so unclear, it looks like it's too fast for recording...

ah nice, i will try this :) i was using xfire and it worked really well actually.. but for some strange reason it adds some strange delay in the sounds on my recordings, and i dont have a clue why. I have tryed to reinstall it and it wont work anyway. but i will try with fraps insted ;)
Pyrre
hum .. my fraps adds deley in the music aswell <.< and it only records a few secounds :/ .. have never used fraps, idk how to either D: maybe will find out something after testing alittle xD..

oh fuck fraps, im going home! .. no but guys .. TRY WITH XFIRE FIRST!!! much much much much easyer then this crap, did i mention much? well anyway, why is this only recording in like 15 secs? <.< might it be cus i have free version? well what ever ima try find a free good program for recording

yeah got fraps registrated now :P, im trying to get right settings, though i still think xfire is much easyer if you want something to just install and works ;D but im trying to get this to work ;)

Yeah thats not going to run osu! and Fraps together smooth enough to do proper recordings, pentium + intel gpu doesn't just cut it.

Edited my post. I should have used the BBCode rather than taking workarounds. =_=;;

@koentie: Have you tried turning down graphic settings? You might wanna use "Low-end PC" and 640×480 resolution on the Options menu to be able to record using Fraps while retaining the 60 FPS.

My sister's laptop (yes, even crappier than yours) can record with Fraps just fine.
lolcubes
Another thing which completely destroys your performance while using fraps is recording on the same hard drive you have your game on. Granted, it's only a minor hit cause osu! doesn't really take up that much resources, but it's still a hit.
Also if the hard drive is old, you might encounter some framerate drops out of nowhere.

You could try toning down some of the Fraps settings, like resolution and FPS of the recording.

Making them spoilered still loads them IIRC, so that won't help. I also don't think this whole forum should adjust because some people with ancient hardware can't browse them with optimal speed.

From 75mb to 300mb, but once i have finished uploading via Window Movie Maker, i open the 'temp' folder and delete the file so that it doesn't take up space on my hard drive

I used "template" = DVD NTSC instead of HDV 720-30p
It probably so big because its DVD?


IppE
Well MPEG2 is generally grossly inefficient compared to MPEG4 encoding. And that DVD template probably gives it the max bitrate specified in DVD spec, thus unnecessarily bloating it.

If you feel adventurous you can always read up on x264 and figure out how it works (Avisynth + x264 is pretty simple once you get the hang of it) or you can read Jeffro's quide on how to use x264vfw with Virtualdub as it uses a simple gui instead of a command line app.

I'll try MPEG4 with 720-30p next time then :)

you need to download the codec first, or just download K-Lite codec pack

i once use x264 directly on Dxtory, no Output whatsoever, so i use Xvid on Dxtory and encode it to MP4 with x264 on Handbrake

You need x264fw for that.

Also, scripting is fun when you get used to it. As a matter fact, I only need to run a batch file without having to tinker with anything for encoding using x264.

i think use xsplite is much better :o, first fraps lags / second fraps takes loads space of your hardrive, third converting file format from sony vegas takes time, xsplite live record and upload utube is much faster o_o also xsplite supports camera which can allow u to show hands XD

But recording high quality (as in lossless to the human eye) with xsplit while retaining filesizes is pretty much impossible due to its realtime nature.
That and if you have a decent computer (which you should if you are to record gameplay of anything), fraps does not lag nor is hard drive space an issue (I have ~120GB of virtually useless stuff on my fraps folder that I just haven't bothered to delete).

Oh and about Sony Vegas, don't bother pirating "professional" video editing software for the sole purpose of compressing video, Vegas is not the best tool for it. Use x264 or one of its many GUI frontends such as RipBot264, HDConvertToX or Simple x264 Launcher.

I'd personally only use xsplit for streaming (which it is aimed for and is virtually perfect at).

You can also use Xsplit to do a local recording. It is easy on the hard drive space as well, and records in youtube friendly mp4 format.
IppE
But you're sacrificing quality or not getting the best compression possible since with xsplit you encode it in realtime due to the program being meant for streaming.

While it's true, it's much easier on your system. Some people can't fraps @30 fps believe it or not. :/

If you're using the free version of Fraps, it'll only allow you to record videos up to 30sec.

There's a built in recorder in MSI Afterburner that records pretty well on low-end computers.
People might want to take a look at it.
