Pendragon1951 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just what the title says, would like to record some of my games so I can actually watch what's going on instead of just trying to stay alive:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendragon1951 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had heard fraps really kills the frame rate, what about xfire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I had heard fraps really kills the frame rate, what about xfire? Never tried xfire. However, fraps doesn't affect my framerate in the slightest. But that's just me, I've heard it does affect some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilemyre Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I had heard fraps really kills the frame rate, what about xfire? Xfire is just bad in general. Quality is poor for the resources it uses. Also current versions of fraps don't chew up framerates for me. Earlier versions however..

Pendragon1951 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 ok just trying to get a feel for what software, maybe a more updated version of Fraps works better now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGreatZamboni Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If you are ok with no sound, ezvid is fantastic. I don't believe it records in-game sounds BUT: it is free, you can record your voice simultaneously and it comes with a ton of royalty free music. Here you go if you wanna look http://www.ezvid.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Wow, no one mentioned "Bandicam"!!! Pretty similar to fraps, it even lets you record videos at a better quality, however only at a limited time for FREE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PublikDomain Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Fraps to a spare HD, then compression with Veedub. Need something for recording fullscreen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Raptr has a streaming option now and that is free. I never stream with Twitch your streams seem to be recorded so this a totally free option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduxe Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Wow, no one mentioned "Bandicam"!!! Pretty similar to fraps, it even lets you record videos at a better quality, however only at a limited time for FREE. I can't find anywhere sayings Bandicam is free for a limited time. All I'm finding are torrents/ trial cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not what i meant! I mean you can only record videos at a set limit of time period, say maybe 2-3 minutes videos and that's it for a free version.

IIPREDATORII Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) MSI Afterburner. DXtory. Both really good. DXtory isn't free though. But you can get it for free. Hint hint. Nudge nudge. When using any recording software. If it doesn't work. Go in to the warframe launcher settings and uncheck the 64 bit, then try to record. That may be the issue.

Kaibah Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Use MSI Afterburner. It's free and comes with a pretty great video capturing tool, but keep in mind that you'll have to run the game in 32-bit since there is no 64-bit version of the program yet (change through the game launcher). MSI is mostly a graphics card performance monitor and booster, but you can turn this stuff off and just use the video capturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlebbyMilliner Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've used both fraps and DXTory. Fraps is pretty much able to record everything, except for the Windows 8 desktop. The downside is that it has to sync your framerate to multiples of the video framerate. So if you're want to record at 30fps, you need to maintain 30fps, 60fps, or 90fps. Recent versions have allowed larger than 4GB files so it's easier to maintain. Obviously files are large. DXTory has some advantages over fraps though. It works in most DirectX games, although it's a little less compatible than fraps. The advantages are: 1) It doesn't need a sync'd framerate. 2) It can record multiple audio streams into the end simultaneously. So if you post process footage, you can independently control the game sound, Mumble/chat, and your own mic if you so desire. 3) It can span multiple hard drives if you want (psuedo RAID without using Windows dynamic disk). In general I find that once set up, DXTory is a much more enjoyable experience to work with over Fraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
