I just have a few questions about Camstudio. Gonna download it one of these days, just have a few questions first.
Do I need a microphone to record sound?
And
If I had a computer with a 1.4GHz processor, how laggy would it be with a HW battle in RA2, most likely in the BBEANS Tournament Arena V2?
-
I don't have Camstudio but for other programs you don't need a microphone to record sounds. You just need to set it to record the "Wave Out Mix" sound output. Then if you turn your speakers on it should record sound. :)
-
yeah normally just the output (what your computer gives to your speakers) is what a screen recorder will use for sounds.. so before they come out the speakers
-
Ok so thats good. But I don't want the matches killed by lag. Is that a fast enough processor?
Edit: And there is a codec on their website. Do I need it?/What does it do?
-
DO NOT use it for games. the game itself won't be laggy but the video will be.
Get FRAPS or something for games. but even that lags sometimes. oh well.
-
If it doesn't work well for games, then will it even work with RA2?
-
RA2 = Game?
Look at my tutorials on skinning and uhh trov glitch i believe. they use cam studio.
-
cam studio has a very limited fps, which can be cool sometimes, for example a timelapse of a photoshop image you are making. But for games, I would stick to fraps.
-
I see. Anybody got a fraps d/l?
-
i use zd soft game recorder
-
I torrented mine. I know Madiaba has a good version that he can send you over yahoo or something
-
Doesn't Reier or someone have a d/l of it on GTM somewhere. I remember someone posting a link.
-
what zdsoft if so i think it might have been S.T.C. who said someting about it
-

That was me. Click was very prompt in removing that link so I'm not doing it again.
Just torrent it, it doesn't take that long
-
yeah.. we cannot pass out copywrited programs on here (RA2 is pretty much abandonware)
but if you torrent it its not anything to do with this forum (like it cannot be held against GTM for its free release) its do at your own risk type thing
-
i believe i got mine from naryar, but i could be wrong.
-
Will I need to download anything besides FRAPS?
like any codecs or anything?
P.S. Does anyone know a *safe* torrent?
-
Ok so my parents will not let me get a torrent program. I am going to try to get my dad to give me his old laptop in the meantime anyone have a d/l of fraps they can send me via email. Just say so and I will PM you my email address.
I feel like a n00b again X(
-
I may have the zip somewhere still, it was only a zip, easiest thing ever to install, just drag to program files. I don't recall and viruses.
-
Well could you scan it or something to be sure. A virus on my moms computer (the one I use, I don't have my own) would probably get me banned from the computer for a while. And I'll feel like sh**.
-
OK big thanks to Madiaba, inplabth, Sage, and Duck to helping me with the whole Fraps thing.
One problem though...
I cannot get Fraps to record sound. I have my master volume set to full, as well as all of the things in it (Wave, SW Synth, CD Player, and Line Volume) set above zero, and not muted. Fraps is set to record sound from "Detect Best sound input", and it still won't play. Any suggestions?
-
I had the same problem. Make sure you have all the drivers, maybe even get new drivers. You have to get FRAPS to say "Direct Input" but I'm not quite sure how I got mine to do that xD
-
What are drivers and where can I find them?
-
jump into control panel and make sure your outputs and things like that are all correct

Fraps is good when you get it to work but be wary.
I've used it before, and after recording for some time the sound and video start coming out of sync. You gotta keep starting and stopping it to avoid this. I don't know if its just me, though.
