P.s.: ill upload an example as fast as possible:>

Edit:
http://files.filefront.com/testrm/;8.../fileinfo.html

here is an example. its recorded with camtasia recorder. the normal quality is a ton better but i wanted to create a short testvideo, not a legendary preview xD

You can see my FPS on the bottom to the right, where the panel shows it in green (45-60 fps)

Well if I could get it to record I would be able to help a little.

Added preview in the first post:P

Would you mind making a small guide on how to start recording with this program? I went in and started playing with the settings and I kept getting an error that it was unable to write the avi file.


Edit: I took a look at your video, it is indeed what you say it is. I have a solution but I have to have that guide on how to begin recording to test it to make sure it works.

ok, here is a starter guide .. hope it helps xD

- start "Camtasia Recorder" (the red bubble)

- recordsetting "fullscreen"

- no audio

- "tools" in the mainbar => "Options" => "Recording" => "save as camrec" (better quality)
=> "Video" => "Manuell"
=> Select how much frames you need
=> Record-Mode "normal Screenrecord"
Codec: "TechSmith Screen Capture Codec"

select the folders where the temporal datas and the final video should be saved and yeah.. then type "F9" or "record" and thats it:P

if u need more help, let me know it, ill try to translate as much as possible:P (im running this prog @ german)

That'll do, I will play with it and see what I can do to make bett quality come of it.

thx a lot mate:> i hope you find something to improve the framerate <3


ok ive played a bit with the codecs... i tried NO CODEC ... now the framerate is a bit higher , around 14fps.. ill try a bit more, maybe it was a codec problem xD

I could never get it to record the game footage because it kept knocking me out of the game and never let me back in.

hm.. do you know why you are kicked out (errormsg/something like that) ?

I have to say this program isn't very compatible. I try to record and my entire screen blacks out.

Edit: I think that it was the acceleration that did that.
