I had my recording settings set to 60 FPS though, and Guild Wars obviously runs at 60 FPS with Vsync on comfortably.

But the recording of the elf party was still glitchy

Try recording onto a seperate H/D and/or select 30fps .... I know 60 should be a lot smoother but it's just the way it comes out so it doesn't lag your game.

just select 30 fps it still looks pretty nice.

Game is running off my Raid 0 D drive, and video capture is being saved to a 2 Tb E drive.

I set MSI afterburner to 30 fps, and it was even glitchier ... maybe its a problem with SLI?

Also, mine isnt recording sound, does anyone know why that is or how to get it to record sound as well?

Oh - then sorry I've no idea

On another note ....

Does anyone know how to get the footage to work in Sony Vegas 10? The sound is there but there's no video. Do I have to change the codec and if so is there any free programs to do so? I've recorded stacks of footage with MJPG Compression.

It does however work in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 ... but I'm really familiar with Sony vegas so I'd rather stick with what I know.

Have you got the option for sound in the Video Capture tab? If not you need to download the beta version (which is quoted below)

You forgot to change it from Standard (4:3) to Widescreen (16:9) in Windows Movie maker? Your other vids turned out ok.

Thanks, I'm downloading the latest beta.

My videos will always have a box around them because I have a 1920x1200 monitor

Wanted to try this out, but the beta won't let me overclock so had to go back to 1.6.1 release. Anyone else have the same issue?

My monitor is 1680x1050 native so I change the res to 1280x720 to record at.

Gave this a go last night with BC2 and struggled at first with choppy videos and fps. In the end it seemed to be because I had it set to 25fps. 30fps seems to of sorted it and I can write videos to the NAS in 1080p no problem. Alost seems to have vsync effect though, locking fps in game to 60.

Just need to have a go at uploading them now.
