best option for recording CS:GO and Source

3Point5InchFlop · 4 May 2013 at 15:18

Looking to record segments from CS series, for me and my mate. We like to set up challenges for one another so I'd like to record these clips into a video.
I know about FRAPS but is there something free and equal?
The main thing would be to auto-write over, say for instance its recorded a game that I dont wish to keep, it will not create a 2nd file, or just 1 really huge file of all games played. Can I just set a max file size?

ok how about any FRAPS users giving me some tips if thats the best around?
can I just set it to auto write over the same file again and again?

I'm not sure if you can set it to auto overwrite on Fraps but if you're tight on space then you could always record a demo on either game then Fraps that when you have got the right clip. This won't be that useful if you intend to do live commentary over the clips though, as the demo will only record game sound.

thanks for those tips, had a quick try there, just so I'm clear,
open console then its just "record demo cs1" for instance?

It'd be just "record cs1"
To stop the recording type "stop" in console.
To view the demo recordings, type "demoui" in console and click load and navigate to the relevant .dem file.

DxTory is good. Doesn't kill your fps like fraps will.

Be sure to get lagariths lossless codec for it too.

I used it record one of my first bf3 games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h7h7x23KGA

I've used MSI Afterburner. You can look into that too.
