Okay, don't recommend Fraps, i've tried it.

I'm looking for some software so I can record in-game Renegade footage.. above 20FPS. I'm looking to record at FULL (60+ FPS) FPS so I can still do what I want without being at 20FPS as Fraps does.

Does anyone know any software? I also need video editing software.. I don't mind if it costs Wink

Thanks.

Have you tried using Fraps? It will slow down your FPS a little, but I'm not sure if you'd mind or not.

I would only recommend something that captures 24 FPS. Movies going 60 FPS can be really hard to work with when combining with other footage.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

yes you can record without any performance loss at all. the only drawback is that this method is trickier than simply hitting a button to record. You have to connect a standard video recorder to the tv-out part on your video card using a link cable. Then you do some other shit and get recording. I don't know exactly what you do but do know 2 people that have done it. Message c4miner on this forum or snipegod1 on renegade.the-pitts.net. I haven't seen either of them on for a while though.

Don't know about how they do performance wise, but you could try:

HyperCam
Camtasia Studio

Too bad you don't get to record sound though. You have to register in order to get sound recording.

This is really the best way to capture...If persformance is critical:
I have a small shuttle PC with a video capture port, I use the video out on my x800 xt to do video to output to the video-in of shuttle and then play on my regular monitor.

Then on my shuttle I tell it to capture video.

Basically ya, its kinda expensive, but its the best way if you don't want to suffer a performance loss while playing your game.

Another way is to get the LiteOn DVD-R standalone recorder for 239.99 its got DVI INPUT, so if you have a card with dual output you could record in pure digital and in 720x480 (16:9) or 640x480 (4:3) resolution in realtime.

What the hell is with this "omg Fraps records at 15 fps" thing?

I have Fraps 2.0 and it records at 30 fps STEADY with no problems at all. If I set it to record sound, then it records at 25 fps. Either you guys have out-dated computers or you don't know how to use the settings in Fraps.

Fraps does not suck.

fraps is recording straight to the hard drive writing uncompressed video thats why the SFPS drops
if you send a 4GB file over your network while playing you'l notice your FPS drop as the HHD is in heavy ish use

That doesn't change the fact that you said it records at 15 fps.

30 fps in unplayable for me, too, but since we both have nearly IDENTICAL computers, do you really have to call me a retard for that?

The average fps for a movie is 30 fps. That is why 30 fps is suitable. Also, is 30 fps really THAT bad? :rolleyes:

I wouldnt think that 30 FPS would really be that bad, since I can play quite normally on 15 FPS, so I can only hope to get 30.

I guess everyone has their own level of "normal".

Some might find stuttering gameplay normal where as others find it diabolical.

Okay, You try being one of the best snipers around sniping at 30FPS. I can guarentee that the best snipers around all have 50FPS. Anything under 40FPS and I find it extremely hard to snipe.

I used to have a shitty computer that averaged at 15 - 20 fps, and I owned at sniping. I'm actually worse at sniping with this speed machine. So yeah, 30 fps does not suck.

I tried that Game Cam software, I recorded at 70 fps but the movie turned out worse than what Fraps records at. Plus, the mouse arrow was showing, w00t. I still prefer Fraps.
