Re: [GD-General] In-game Capture

[mike w. <mi...@ge...>]

from what i've found, fraps causes major frame-rate slowdowns while 
recording, unless you have a super-fast machine to record the video, you 
will end up with half or sometimes less the performance of your game 
while you are recording.

this has caused us problems before - the video ends up being alot lower 
framerate than the actual game and caused some negative feedback as a 
result...

i would probably use a normal svideo output out of a videocard and 
capture that on a second machine if (when) we have to put a trailer out 
again rather than use fraps.
