I haven't been this inspired to kick some ass since the destruction of the Goddard Colony in Deneb Sector in 2654.326!

Question:

what utility did you use to capture the video, and does it work in Windows?
Feb 01, 2006 Ghost link
Used Fraps to capture the video and it does work on windows. Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I want to voice again that this was a community effort though. I was lucky to have so many people help out.

Glad everyone (except jex) likes it!

I was afraid you were going to say that...

I can't get greater than 4-5fps under fraps... which is, obviously, too low for either decent play or capture.

I wonder what the professionals use.....

xvidcap. :P

I've tried to use Snapz pro before, but I get 1/2 a frame a second, :D. Obviously professionals must have WAY better videocards and processors.

I use a Rage M7 with an 800mhz processor lol.

/me drools at the thought of a new AMD64 CPC with Athlon FX-55, the latest NVIDIA card and four gigs of RAM...

ahhh... err, what? oh... back to reality...
I have a gateway craptop with some unknown INTEL onboard graphics processor and shared memory... it sucks.

Beolach & rogue:

That's two votes for xvidcap. Now I'm curious... I checked the xvidcap wepsite and it says:
Xvidcap needs to capture the rendered image. Because there is no way for xvidcap to get it once it's on the graphics adapter, you absolutely need to disable hardware acceleration.

So, it doesn't seem practical to use xvidcap with a 3D game (i.e. VO). Please, enlighten me: if it's worked for you, what did you do? I'm keeping my eye out for that thread in the Linux forum, Beolach! *poke*

I guess another fanboy post won't hurtc

Great movie, loved the whole thing (except the font choice, ick). Can't wait for the next one!!!!

Love it :) Great stuff =D

I dunno. I've seen xvidcap work with OpenGL. Since I've never chanced to examine the source code, I dunno how. Code gnomes. Magic code gnomes.

Hmm, I'm not sure about leeb's. I guess a lot of those links got dropped for bandwith space maybe now that the thread died. We should probably make a new thread with stickies of all the movies people have made so we don't lose them. I can't find a lot of the older ones anymore.

I let the domain for Itanialliance die off, so no links from that site work anymore.

I'm at a loss for how to film my movie now, since the sound I have sucks completely. It's intermittent with SnapzPro X, and, well, I can't play VO at work and use any capture programs there.

I'll repost it if you all want, but it was just storyboards for a movie that may not quite happen now. Perhaps I can do something else, but for now, I'm unable to record well with sound capture.

I have Ghost's movie, my movie, and I think one of the other ones, Perhaps I could re-post.

Oh, and I again demand that _Ghost_ be given the opportunity to have the alt's name "Ghost" due to his work on this project.

Leebs: Once the issue with full screen glow on MacBook Pros get resolved i'll be happy to do the capture.

Lol, thanks leebs. I can dream I suppose =)
May 05, 2006 Aleksey link
Uh, other movies? Yes, yes, I want to see them!

And yes, I still want to see Leeb's one.

Leebs, have you tried iShowU in windowed mode? It's free, and being updated pretty frequently.
