Battle Videos

[Fandango]

Absolutely great to hear some opinions on this idea! I was thinking that no one would bother to start this thing going, so I'm going to try to record one of my own battles and submit it in here. It ain't gonna be anything to wait for though .

Hopefully we are going to get some nice discussions going on with these videos.

Gatts: Heh, I actually mentioned one example of recording program in my post. The same that Nike-it posted about. Anyone know any other ones?

I wish I will have some spare time this evening from the christmas present packings for the video recording...

RECORDING PROGRAMS
Here are the three recording programs which I have found so far. Seems like CamStudio is the only one actually free and limitless.

Here are the programs:
CamStudio (http://camstudio.org) (COMPLETELY FREE, NO REGISTER)
FRAPS (http://www.fraps.com/) (NEEDS REGISTERING, COSTS, Max 30 seconds with trial)
GameCam (http://www.planetgamecam.com) (NEEDS REGISTERING, COSTS, Max 30 seconds with trial)

UPS - you really did state FRAPS ... I missed it... baka me

Ok, downloaded FRAPS and as backup the other programs I just hope the videos won't be too huge... (well - still we may use youtube links... it was about a time to create an account there heh)

Don't await my posts to early, I am little bit grampy in new programs usage... also I have very limited internet access, but I will totally post at least one battle movie...

I hope I will mange to run the movies in moviemaker of Win XP - to be able to add some notes... the comments may be interesting for the audience ...

This is what I'm worried about FRAPS:

Is there really a 30 seconds limit for recording?

Well, just got to test it at home...

I think the 30 sec thing is about the watermark, it appears only 30 seconds in each video, also it is a great idea but im not a big fan of downloading programs , i shoulda got gamecam quite some years ago cause i had to do something with it and yet i didn't.

That's what I thought too... and hoped.

Sorry people, I had the first video posted on this reply, but I had to delete it for now. It was quite horrible quality and pointless battle anyway.

I'm going to keep on working with the videos after the christmas. I'll try to get the guide for uploading them. Hopefully some people will put on some of their own battles in the meantime!

Merry X-mas everyone!

I have realized that Fraps makes only 30 seconds videos, which are HUGE in MB, from the other two, one was downloading with rare slowness (20- kbps) and the other one was not able to capture videos in KB w/o creating lags/ shaky video/ video distortion... but was able to capture in better format than Fraps, much less in MBs... after all I did not see any usage in 30 seconds videos of 300+ MB each from fraps and the the other video capture programs were quite a failure... sorry - no videos from my side... (maybe some hints from experienced users for me could help)
