phonenix recordings to youtube

[Ashley Davis]

been there tried most of them, Fraps is very well optimized and despite claims of it being free it isn't. It limits how long you can record to 30 seconds unless you pay and register the S/W.

Phoenix uses a lot of system resources so unless you have both a powerful CPU and a powerful graphics card you will struggle to record anything. You need at a minimum 15 FPS for the video to look passable and 25 FPS for it to be video quality. Dropping resolution and running fullscreen mode can gain you some frames. Also drop the phoenix quality by removing anti-aliasing, shadow quality and anything that just ins't going to show up on a compressed youtube vid anyway.

lol 1 fps is all i got it took flipping ages to spool up!!

just done the same Paddy and ugh!!! its a system hogger it stopped my comp dead

Yea it wont let me record for similar reasons lol but it has a screen that shows me everything unlike each time i try & use frapps i get absolutly nothing. It will only give me around 1fps lol

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

Agreed, Fraps did a cracking job for me on Realflight,

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.

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

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

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.

[waveydavey]

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

[BaRoN30s_JR]

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

[sacko]

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

[Qube444]

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.
