Sorry if this has already been created before. couldnt find one.

What software do you sue to capture your games to video? i've heard of and used fraps before. anything better? do they all make the videos in a raw format so it takes up hodges of HDD space?

VirtualDub has capture settings (I've used it to capture tv etc at least) but it's all Raw.

Lots of video editing software comes with a form of screencapture also, and I think they may be able to capture in different formats, though at low res. Magix can and I've heard Sony Vegas can at least.

I know im winging about it being in a raw format bu to get best quality is it better to have in raw format? i could put up with it taking lots of space would just have to amage it more closely.

I alwasy found fraps to make me lag during games. not sure if i just had it setup wrong. i remember seeing an option to set it to the FPS. is this FPS how many you want it to record at? or how any FPS it can use to capture. so say

css

i get 100 fps

then i set fraps to 30 fps, would it drag the game to 30 fps or put game to 70 fps and use the 30 fps for recording

saying that, last time i used fraps i was using I3 with 9600 gt. got an i7 with 660ti now, could have it been hardware that was slwing me down before?
