toying around w/FRAPS

IDK, the video quality is definately not what i get to see. a bit grainy IMO.

What kind of game controller do you use?
I have a Dual Action Logitec and an X-Box360 controller for my PC.
I'd like a really good controller for racing and run and gun.

Cool video BTW.I like that type racer.

thankx mckrackin, i use a saitek P880 dual analog controller for racing, i prefer keyboard & mouse for the first person shooter,so i've never used the controller for that, but my controller you can program to pretty much anything so...... i've programed it to the battlefeild series games, but didn't like it so much.
i did however program it to GTA san andreas it worked awesome. just for the driving part of the game though
i can't race worth a crap on the keyboard LOL ;D

[McKrackin]

I can't do anything with the keyboard.Hell,I started typing this yesterday.lol....

[fergie]

LMAO, ahh heck once you get used to the keyboard you won't go back ;D

the video is not great for two reasons. 1 you probably have it set to record at a smaller resoultion, instead of full screen. and then when you do put it onto youtube usually its been scrunched before or as you put it on youtube to fit a diffrent format size. thus it distorts a tad, and also looses some frames. most videos are recorded at 29.97 frames per second but the human eye only registeres and sees something like 26 a second. so when you compress a video some frames are dropped to decrease its size and when this happens your eye picks up on the missing frames usually as grainy effects cause you relize a frame is missing.

most often tho its because of the recoded resolution or the compression tho. all videos unless they are originally made at youtube resolutions all look grainy. to me it looked great. no diffrent then any videos i make with fraps and i record mine at fullscreen then edit them down

[fergie]

thanx coffin ;D. hey BTW do you use the free ver. of fraps, or the full ver.?

[coffinsnail]

i have a hacked copy of the full one .... but i use to use the free one, just put the frame rate up in the corner cause it turns red when recording and when i noticed it went green, id reactive it and normally id not lose enough frames for people to notice. the only thing you cant do is remove fraps from the free one. if you use BT sites you should be able to track down a copy.

i was just curious about program options between the two, you know what i mean.
but yea, the vid i posted is acually 3sections of video.
thanx again coffin ;D
