Turning a Cin ematic into a video file.

[Hildagarn]

How could this be done? I have a cinemtaic map for a chemisty project and I need it in a video format (video and audio) that any computer (or almost) could view.

 

[Laiev]

get some program to record it..

Fraps or other...

 

[Hildagarn]

can anyone do this for me if I give them the map :-/ ?

CamStudio works too, and it's free. Sound might be an issue (Was in version 1. But 2.5 is out now) though,

 

[Hildagarn]

I tried Camstudio, but warcraft 3 took up 1/4 of the screen on the finished video, the audio wasn't there, and the quality was terribad. Was I just not using it right?

 

[mylemonblue]

If youre using the newest version which should be 2 beta or something, there should be audio. other wise you could try the trial version of Fraps.

 

[Hildagarn]

2.0 Is the one I had


Edit: Ouch, I got the FRAPS trial and my FPS went to 10-12 and the audio was 10 miles ahead of the video...

Webcam? o.o

 

[Hildagarn]

Don't have one...

Manually record it with a digital camera/video camera. Turn your screen settings to brightest. It should work.

fraps do it will, also if you dont have money for licence, you can easily commit some crimes.

 

[Hildagarn]

Yea...fraps killed my framerate though.

 

[Laiev]

play the map, save the replay and then rec it

FRAPS has some settings you can use that will mediate the framrate for you.

-Half-Size: Exacty that. Records video at half the screen res. Saves a lot of file size, but idk about fps.

60 fps - Locks the upper framerate at 60 frames per second. Smoother videos, but MUCH larger file size.

30 fps - *default when loading FRAPS* Locks the upper framerate at 30 frames per second. Doesn't matter if you have a single core computer running Windows 95 or are running an 8 Core Mac with the best hardware in the decade, it's going to keep it at 30 fps or below when recording. This means generally it will be lower quality than a 60 fps video, BUT it's filesize will be much smaller.

Doesn't googling free game video systems or something give you a ton of ideas and lists, and hypercam?

 

[mylemonblue]

I did that, and pretty much the best was Camstudio. Others were OS or even game unique. One required you to have an account on this one website, and only worked for a handful of "awesome" games. Warcraft 3 was not on the list, but WoW was.

 

[Whoareyou.]

Lolz, only CamStudio...

 

[Hildagarn]

Fraps is the best...but I can't find a place to (cough) ninja the full version.

 

[mylemonblue]

It's not that expensive.

 

[Hildagarn]

Tried buying it tiwce, and...it never sent a confirmation email.
