Settings for what? Recording or encoding? Be more specific please.
Excuse me! I'll be more specific! ;)
I have problems with recording, my osu slows down like hell and looks like I suck like hell.
I'll show you a link from a youtube recording from me a while ago.. did it twice and never did it again.



And this is a fairly good recording... They are even worse now, with faster songs. Oo

I'm not sure.. I don't know a lot about laptops/computers in general, but I found this:

I hope this helps. :)

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.

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.

Suggestion: All embed videos should be wrapped around with either [spoiler] or [box] BBcode. I'm having trouble browsing this thread due to CPU overload with Flash Player, slowing down overall performance of my old Pentium 4 PC. :(

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.

It certainly has improved, but what kind of filesizes are you getting for a ~3 min 720p30 file that is perceptually lossless?

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 can recommend VHScrCap (VH Screen Capture Driver) or Xsplit Broadcaster.

I do know xsplit is being used primarily for livestreaming, but it also has the feature "Local Recording"

Highly reommendable!

Aproxx 3 minute map:

After Sony Vegas> .mpg: 135mb

I changed osu! resolutions to 640x480 though, so the video quality isnt the best, but enough for me ;)

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

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 :)
- Thanks!
I'll have a look at the guide next time I record, the lower I can get the file the better. I think it took about 40minutes - 1 hours to upload this vid to youtube <_<

Why use x264 with some flimsy GUI when x264 accepts Fraps video as input as is?

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
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.

Those people should invest in a decent hard drive.

my problem is that it suddenly stops recording I see the numbers go from Red to Yellow again without me stopping the recording.

Is it suppose to stop that way? I can't even record a full song in 1 video.

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

actually i record my movie with OBS

i've followed the tutorial for livestreaming osu! and set "File output only" instead of "live stream"

SPOILER

It's free, and intuitive

My file weight is like 80 Mb / 1 min
(when recording in 1080p, you should set "Max Bitrate (kb/s)" to 8 000 or more to keep a good quality)


Sorry for my bad english ><
