Need a new screen recorder
« on: November 26, 2010, 08:52:54 PM »
I went to download the fraps on Pirate Bay but I can't use torrents because they wreck my computer and I cannot use We Game because it ruins my documents

Can someone suggest a screen recorder that allows unlimited recording, does not wreck my documents and is not a torrent.

Fraps is only like 40 something dollars.. cheaper then most computer games or software

either that or live with trials and pausing,

No recording soft ware works on my computer. They all seem to crash what ever game I'm trying to record :P

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

ZD Soft is decent, there's also an account for it going around you can use to record for unlimited minutes.

you know the file size isnt the program doing whatever it feels like right ? you can lower the output size by change the quality

last I heard you were using an unnecessarily large FPS rate on fraps

fraps is at 30 fps....

Playclaw does seem to run better with higher end games without lagging it like fraps does though

I have the free version of fraps, and for a strange reason anything I download that lasts only for a certain amount of days doesnt run out, I've had the free version of fraps for months eve though its a 30 day trial.

Fraps trial is forever I think? just limited with a watermark and record time

It isn't a 30 day trial. It's just 30-seconds.

EDIT: Joe wins.
