phonenix recordings to youtube

[BaRoN30s_JR]

just tryed uploading a recording on to youtube but get an error and will not play can some one plz tell me how to convert it plz..... thanks

[lex7919]

be interested to know this too, and also is there any way to voice over as you record??

[sacko]

Surely you would need to use screen capture software. Youtube wont recognise a Phoenix file.

phoenix has recorded it as a pxr file here... is there a way i can get to convert it and put it on youtube ?.....

[Gate88]

Yea the phoenix output files are not video files, they are only recognized by phoenix. As Sacko rightly points out you'd need screen capture software. The simplest way would be to use a video camera to film the screen, you'd lose quality but its the easiest way!

There is another way with better quality. Use a screen video capture tool. There are many about, some you need to by and some are free. In a quick search I found this, see if it's suitable.

Free Screen Video Capture - free screen recording software, video screen capture and sound recorder.

[sacko]

Camstudio is free, but the quality isnt too good at all.

[BaRoN30s_JR]

will try that what you have posted qube 444 thanks for the help....

What does Rob and Ashley Davis use for their recordings? Might be worth asking

[lex7919]

right ok cool wasn't sure if phoenix was the same i used FRAPS for realflight its very good quality and free so ill try that for phoenix too.
Your right though there the guys to ask.

'Fraps' is the software you need to do this
Do a search for it on google.

I've just downloaded Deput video capture software & it was free & looks 100 times easier than Frapps

[Made2Fade]

Nothing hard about Fraps anyways if ya ask me...
Its the most commonly used one for people posting videos on the tube. Whatever works for you dude.
Mind you im always weary when you get things for 'Free'... normally means their rubbish in this game like

I have a freebie one, (camstudio). It is only just barely passable for simple stuff like pointing around the desktop with the mouse but I tried to record a Phoenix video and it was horrid. And this is on a very fast PC.

Point almost proven right there...
Anyone whos gonna give you something for free would be mad to give you software that works so good and worth potential money.
