Recording Gameplay

[Hazger]

What program you use to record your gameplay (those youtube videos).
I tested fraps but my fps drop from 60 to 30 when i start recording...

Any recomendation?

I think the emulator has a built-in recorder, but i don't really know how to use it.

It drop down because the resources it uses and your computer (although you can set to 60 FPS) also in few time it can override 1 GB O.o.

After LOTS of tests i made this video.

But still not perfect (like when i play whitou recording) you can notice the diference in my jumps after 1:05 i got full sped (i turned frame skipping 1)

Now i need i good program to edit videos... this one in fraps is more than 1gb.
I used Windows Movie Maker in this one but i guess we have better programs to do this someone know any?

I use Growler Guncam instead of fraps as for my computer it uses significant less cpu resources then fraps. AKA lose only 1-2 fps running growler compared to 20 or so with fraps.

For Video Editor
Trakaxpc works VERY nice and its completely free. If you have ever used Macs Garageband or Sony Acid pro you will understand this software immediately LOL.

For 30 days you get EVERYTHING you get on the pro version. Uninstall/install and repeat LOL. Very simple to work with and you will enjoy. I've used it many times. Also has options to convert to youtube if you are a bit noobish on that aspect.

I found that when recording with fraps if you're in windows 7 you have to disable aero when recording in ogl, other wise your fps will go to hell. im not sure what os you're using but just for future reference.

also windows live movie maker compresses the videos horribly, I used it for my first 2 ffcb and look how they look. http://www.youtube.com/user/Apostacious so you're not missing out on anything.
So i decided to pull up the ol' professional suite Adobe premiere pro cs4 for my silent hill videos.

try this http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_pro&promoid=EBYEY&loc=en 30day trial for a 799$ professional software is not bad huh

VirtualDub or Avidemux if you are just going for encoding or very simple editing like shortening the video length.
