Actually, scripting makes things easier than GUI. As a matter fact, I only need to run a batch command file and x264 will do its job.
suit yourself, at least both ways produce an Output that we want, this place is not for arguing which way are the best.

What kind of hard drive are you writing to? Sounds like there is some lag when it creates a new file.

i know fraps can only make videos of 4GB or something, maybe that has something to do with it.

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).

Ippe, don't bother.

You know I enjoy babbling about these things, even when the person I'm talking to has no idea what I'm saying.

thanks remco, capturing the video was easy enough on my own,but the rendering part helped me a lot even though i use a new version
could never have figured it out myself especially with the templates XD
sony vegas is awesome :3

Useful.

I don't know why but my frap will only capture 29 seconds and then stop capturing....any ideas why?
IppE
Do you have the full version or trial?
nomen
Buy torrent the full version and you will be able to record longer than 30seconds.
jacques96
ahhh ok thanks guys :)

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. :/
Mithos
This works well if you want small file sizes to work with. http://www.zdsoft.com/screen-recorder/

It also take 10 seconds and a google search to crack :S

Those people should invest in a decent hard drive.

Or alternatively stop using laptops to record gameplay videos.

But that's what I use :(
EarlMacTavish
I'm done with recording,but it's lagging.Why that happened? :(

This thread is really useful and I'd rather use BBFlashBack Pro 3 Recorder than use Fraps.

Hey guys, I have an issue, Sony Vegas isn't taking the sound of the video recorded with Fraps :?
michaelda101
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.
Alucard
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.

very nice tutorial. If I'm got better skils . I'm started videos

I want to add that you can use OBS to record your footage and it's free.
ViViThai
OBS is a nice free recording/streaming software. here's a link for you all. http://obsproject.com/

To those who use OBS: does anyone know why my sony vegas crashes every time I open the MP4 file that I made using OBS? It didn't crash when I used fraps :/

Thought I prefer to use Lagarith Codec and record with Dxtory instead of using FRAPS.
Jafem
This method sure is usefull but if i remember right i read a post like 1 year ago about a tool converting replays to videos or something.
I mean fraps does cost money so.

Uncle Fluff would like to have a word with you.

I wonder, would it be okay if I did some updating on this and made a wiki page of that too.

I have no idea why this thread is still stickied. Go visit the wiki people!

Alternatives to expensive Sony Vegas?
mudzz
actually i record my movie with OBS

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


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 ><
