You can try playclaw? and you should record onto a diffrent drive to what your game is installed on.

**edit I record onto a 1tb samsung fine

cod 4 has a console command for recording then use something to extract it.. Not really sure how it works but youtube it?

So you suggest I just buy a HD PVR?

I think that would be the best all round option, completely removes the computer from the equation and encodes it to h.264 on the fly.

Masterdeadly · 23 Dec 2011 at 21:38

what does h.264 on the fly mean?

joem1983 · 23 Dec 2011 at 21:42

HD PVRs are the price of another GPU also. Bear in mind the HD PVR works off component so your going to have to **** around with cables and adapters.

There is the Blackmagic intensity though.

Joe, I saw you have a youtube channel, how have you managed to get footage? how do you record your footage?

Masterdeadly · 23 Dec 2011 at 21:54

It records in game but I can't find the video in my files

joem1983 · 23 Dec 2011 at 22:16

I havent tried recording cod 4 on the pc yet as Im not good enough...! but loads of people do to get their demos.. Loads of videos how to. I'll have a go at some point.

I have the HD PVR. Its xbox footage. As I have a monitor to game on i use a component to hdmi converter aswell. So i imagine it's even more complicated using it off a pc.

I havent really used it lately as im pretty into PC gaming now! PRetty tempted to sell it and add another GPU.

theres a few on play.

Masterdeadly · 23 Dec 2011 at 22:20

Might buy a HD PVR then can you connect it via HMDI on my graphics card

Masterdeadly · 23 Dec 2011 at 22:29

but are HD PVR'S Compatible with pc's?

joem1983 · 23 Dec 2011 at 22:40

Through a converter. It runs off component HD cables. Im not sure if the converter box can input hdmi and output component.

Check out the blackmagic. Although I believe that writes as uncompressed...

@Masterdeadly. There's a great article on capturing games on EuroGamer. Well worth reading...

So looking back to the first post by Masterdeadly, I remember having this same issue a longggg time ago.. with fraps and as i've read though these posts i dont really beleive its been answered. Can you record while playing the game with more than 30FPS with any of the methods mentioned. Most people say its very playable at 30FPS, how ever for somone that plays a game running at a stable 125, 333 FPS sitting at 30FPS to try and record.. well its not even worth trying.

Sorry if i've missed something somewhere mentioning how you can increase that or a way around it but i dont see anything.

Masterdeadly · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:15

You're exactly right, I found a way to record inside of cod then fraps that, but on Sony Vegas I can't manage to get 720p quality,

Have a look at my quality test -

For another 60gb is it not worth paying another 40 quid?

Over the course of a year, this works out at £0.22p per day. How much is your time worth?

Masterdeadly · 24 Dec 2011 at 17:49

Yes xD

HungryHippos · 24 Dec 2011 at 19:45

I record my Orcs Must Die! footage at 45 fps using FRAPS, seems to work the best for me. Also have the recordings going to another hard drive that is not used by my O/S. Generally runs smooth

30fps felt a bit laggy so I needed some extra frames.

Masterdeadly · 24 Dec 2011 at 21:07

Don't have another hard drive
