Topic: Video editing

[knightstorm]

I want to start posting video of OP matches on youtube.  What's the best way to edit FRAPS videos for that purpose?

I just was reading up on this knightstorm

Why is the AVI movie generated by Fraps so big? How can I reduce the size?
The filesize is big because there isn’t enough time to encode the movie while the game is running. The movie frames are slightly compressed, but still require a large amount of disk space due to the high resolutions. Once you have finished capturing you should convert the saved AVI into one of the popular compressed movie formats such as mpeg or divx. Recommended programs for doing this are tmpgenc (Tsunami Mpeg Encoder), and VirtualDub.

Using VirtualDub is quite easy. To create a compressed version of the AVI follow these steps:

Start VirtualDub
Select File->Open and choose the AVI in the Fraps directory you wish to compress.
Select Video->Compression and choose the codec you wish to compress with (usually divx)
Select File->Save As AVI and specify a filename for the new AVI.
If you have Windows XP you can also use Windows Movie Maker to compress the video files. If you use Windows Movie Maker it's recommended that you keep your Fraps video files at 800x600 or under.

Converting From AVI to Mpeg or the like should be easy enough, just do a google search I suppose.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can convert from the game film files. You could record the game while you are playing using something like Fraps, or record your screen/audio output while you are watching the .rec film, if you want to keep that "film room" perspective.

thanks.

now the question is: how do i record longer that 30 second?

You have to get the full version instead of the trial version.

[Don Karnage]

what other software i can use to record?

[knightstorm]

Taksi

There is another good one like Fraps called Game Cam although the free version won't record your sound.

It works! Thanks for the link, knightstorm! I've just tried it to capture SFC3 and OP video. Unfortunately, Taksi does not support audio recording. But the video capturing works!

Steps:
1)Install taksi and run it.
2)You will see a small toolbar on top of your desktop. Click "config".
3)Go to "Display", check "Hook GDI", uncheck "Record GDI Frame". Change other settings as you wish. (I suggest check "Half Size video" to improve gaming performance.)



4)Click "Save" botton to apply changes. Close config window.
5)Close other applications you're running. Make sure the "App hook" button is blue.



6)Run sfc3 or OP. If you see a green cube flashing at left top corner, Taksi has successfully "hook" the game.
7)Click F6 to cpature video, F7 to pause, F8 to stop capturing.
