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)

I've also figured out that in order to make the videos without using any money on recording programs, FRAPS and GameCam is out of the question. I've been able to record very good quality videos without any lag with CamStudio, but when I try to downsize it to YouTube size, it goes laggy and so small that you can't see very well the numbers of creatures in combat. You can see them... but you really have to look close to the screen (which is not very convenient and what I'm NOT looking for).

So if there are any people who have been uploading ANY videos to YouTube, some hints for the right uploading (free) programs would be great!

I'll keep on experimenting with the CamStudio and different uploaders. Thanks Gatts for giving your support in this matter!

I wonder why CamStudio caused performance issues while recording... probably low hardware setting of my PC? I now I was able to start the CamStudio only outside of KB tL, and if I alt+Tabed back to KB, it was sooo slow... (the action key from CamStudio did not initiate recording if I am in KB tL)... or is this some setting issue? (To make CamStudio compatible with 3D games? Or shell I just lower the game settings?... but why did fraps work so well? - well, maybe that's why it is payed, not freeware)

Hmmh, I didn't encounter much slowing of my game when I used CamStudio. Altough I did not use Alt+Tab at all. I just hit the record, started the game, load my save, went to battle, exited after battle and shut down the CamStudio's recording.

I was wondering would it help to start the game as windowed rather than full screen to reduce the stuttering of game for you?
