Okay..recording Cs On Pc...

I have camtasia studio for my pc and it has a recorder. So I have tried to record me playing cs 1.6

now when I try this It always changes the video mode of cs to software and I usually have it on Open GL, highest texture and all that fancy crap.

I check my cs game and it say online usually im running at azout 60 fps.

So what should I set the capture rate for my recorder to be?

 

there is a program made for recording from Counter Strike 1.6 , i will post a link for it as soon as i find it again
dont use camatasia for that , it has to many bugs and isnt made for that purpose and it gives u very big file sizes for just a small ammount of seconds in recording with really bad quality

EDIT:-
allright i found the program:-
its called fraps , it records gameplay to high quality AVI video files , and it records from all DirectX and OpenGL games , heres where you can download it from:-
Fraps 2.7.2

heres a screenshot from the program:-

<span style=\'color:white\'>and here is an even more easy and simple way to do it:-
when your in the game (Counter Strike) , open the console and write this:-
"record demoname"
without the " " , and you can change demoname to whatever you want , because that will be the name of the file recorded , now when you are through with recording , just open the console again and write "stop"
the file you recorded will be placed in your cstrike/ folder , now the filetype will be .dim , its in high quality , to play it you just simply have to enter CS , you dont have to be in a server , and write this command in the console:-
"play demoname.dem"
or
"playdemo demoname.dem"
replacing demoname with whatever you named the file when you started recording

 

But I dont want replays, I want to record. Then save as wmv or avi and then later edit it and add music etc

and then wat is a goof FPS to shoot at

 

You should shoot at atleast the FPS of your game.....I would lower it just to lower the filesize a bit...like 55-58 FPS makes no difference in video Quality.....

 

Probably 58 or lower because Cstrike isn't always at 60 fps...it goes down to 59/58 sometimes

 

Ok. Do what he said. Record yourself playing. Save it yadda-yadda.
Then you re-run it, have fraps running and push your record button. Fraps creates a .AVI file for you. You edit it , put a codec on it. The best way to do it. While record your FPS will drop REALLY low just because FRAPS is using it. Don't worry, just set that FRAPs should record with 30 FP/S.

 

FRAPS IS :censored: GAY!

 

Why is it bad? this is too short so im typing this to make it longer.

 

Fraps puts an advertisement on, and only lets u record 30 seconds, there is a way to convert a demo file into like an avi, i dont remember how though.

 

Get Gamecam.

Search it on Google.

 

ugh yea it only lets me record for 30 seconds....

is there another program i can use

 

Not sure why you'd want over 30 seconds, unless the content lasts that long, e.g you go on 3 minute owning sprees.

Just record the 30 second clips then stitch them together into a movie. Saves people having to watch empty footage (running around etc)

dja

 

i wanna record full 3 minute killidn spress and edit in video

 

just use that command i told you about , and thin download a program to convert audio files , and convert it to whatever you want , and thin you will be able to edit it
