Quote from Jakg :

because i can set LFS to 100 fps LIMIT (important word!) and then set Fraps to record 25 frames per second, and then plug LFS into a monitor 20 miles wide - you think i'm gonna get 25 or 100 fps?

There isn't that much you can do to get a better FPS, besides running LFS in 640*480, and then recording that with fraps, you will get a better FPS and your videos will be smaller (Oh, and if your recording in fraps at 25 fps, you might as well set LFS to 25 fps). You could also limit LFS to 15 fps, and record 15 fps with fraps, record at 0.5 speed, and then using your video software double the speed of the video, as you recorded in 15 fps, it should become 30 fps (aka look smooth....er) and it will be the right speed

Quote from XCNuse :

well first you could have said it was your first, now yes i agree that was harsh, but i didn't think it was your first video

as far as what jakg was pointing out, a video may be recording at some speed (which actually, video makers like Don usually record their videos at half the replay speed, and twice the FPS, and then when they do the editing and whatnot they play the video back at 2x it was recorded at)
that way its smooth, easier on your computer.. and well you get the picture

eidt- or you can do it like jak says and do it at half the FPS rate, and replay at half speed (but i haven't seen to many of those come out so great)

as for multiplayer though, that still stands, and probably wont change

Ok Jakg so what you've said is accurate or are you being sarcastic?

XCNuse I shoul've said it's my first but I failed to mention that, sorry for my ignorance.

Quote from kurent :

Maybe you should learn at least the basics of video before you start making movies? Google is your friend.

I'll remember this........

Quote from XCNuse :

i'm giving advice.. take it or leave it but dont shove it back in my face when i'm trying to give pointers before everyone else comes and flames you

they're my comments, and you asked

Yea your right, but the whole WoW your sad story was not called for. So there for I'm not shoving nothing in your face, just giving you my opinion just like you did with me. And as far as " People Flaming " me I'll take the video off of the website so it can no longer be viewed.

Quote from Jakg :

that might be what its set to, but it sounds like your PC can't deliver

I dont get how you determine your theroy but I'm still new to this and havent messed with any of the settings...... This is my second day using fraps and knowing about some of the in game options such as, screen options, FPS options, and more.

Quote from XCNuse :

lol wow you're sad, i dont know about the FPS thing then, but there are times (especially the first time the FZR appears there is big lag)

as for multiplayer... usually you get a group of people first, see who can host.. get a dedihost, save replay, and then make the movie off of that
making sure that cars aren't jumping around (especially as much as the ones in that video of yours are)

Thats your opinion " I'm SAD " sounds like your very mature. And I am saving replays and using it from there. And as far as jumping around, I guess so.....

Quote from XCNuse :

okay 1. you really need to turn down your engine volume in LFS, there is so much clipping it sounds horrid!
2. i dont suggest making movies online like that, you'll see people jump around.. in a general online server, its not good, if you want to make a movie and have other people in it, its best to do it in a private server, or LAN at best
3. FPS is horrid at some times.. i mean like.. really bad

oh and general lack of the use of the camera, you just seem to have a few ways of doing the camera (but i think thats a thing that comes in time)

What do you mean FPS are horrid at times, you mean like really bad. And what do you suggest? In fraps it's 25FPS and in game it's 100FPS. Also how am I going to get into a private server when I dont know the password to any of them.

Quote from GruntOfAction :

Looks pretty good.

You might wanna get Fraps though.

Sure, it has a watermark, but its not in the middle of the screen.

I say this:
Get fraps and make some more movies!

HaHa.....I do have FRAPS Version 2.8.2, I edited the video and hade to compress because I couldnt fit the orignal video on any site. I have the regestered version of fraps paid the 37$. The reason for the water is the orgnial Video is 1.35GB so there for I used a program to convert it and compress it to a smaller file. Thanks for the comment though

Please ignore the little NAG Water Mark in the film, I needed something to compress the file or else I wasnt able to upload on any site. This is a work in progress and I'm looking for comments, Try not to be harsh.

Thanks- Mike

+1 That would be sweet with the MRT........ I hope and pray that LFS gets some new tracks

Quote from blub-blub :

If you want to render a decent video without fractals and such, make sure that you increase the bitrate. How many MB per second should the video have. Less MB results in bad quality. More MB results in fine quality but also in a bigger filesize. You should think about it before you render. For example if you want to upload your movie to a filehost that allows the files not to be larger than 100MB, you check the length of your movie and calculate the maximum bitrate possible for best quality @ 100MB.

Well right now my video is 0.99GB and I cant uploan the video no where, as far as checking bitrate I have no clue on how to do that.

I just finished a work in progress video and the bad thing is it's 0.99GB WoW Almost a GIG and I cant put it on youtube or photobucket.... no where, How can I fix this problem?

Thanks- Mike

Also I have DivX But the file is a QuickTime Movie and I cant Convert it using DivX. I wounder If i can Right Click the file and Click Compress and Email, and email it to myself. Much help is needed

Am I going to use it everytime I want to make a POST!!!!! NOPE

Sweet, I'll try it out.

Quote from Jakg :

i would go for 640*480 simply because thats what most videos are recorded at

go LFS>Options>Screen>640*480, and in fraps select "Full Size Recording"

I did that and WoW all the cars looked horrible and the typing as well. I tried it both in 16 bit and 32bit bot looked the same.

I guess I'm sick of sitting here watching replays for some time to get what I want and after sitting there for 20mins and have gotten maybe 10-20 of footage it gets annoying and even when you miss the footage you wanted, so now you have to restart the replay. Is there a program thats rewinds and fast fordward the replay, we have a pause button why not rewind and fast fordward? Let me know if there is something out there. Thanks- Mike

Well I hate controling the Camera View under shift+ U and
when I hit Shift+F It's hard to control the camera, I'll try to move in close but it'll go way out and then I have to restart all over. so I'm woundering if anyone has something like a camera hack but not really a hack, just an easier way to control the camera.

Quote from Jakg :

oh yay, Tubocache!

Try turning down the resolution in LFS and Fraps as your placing a HUGE demand on your PC

Where Do i turn down the resolution at in fraps and LFS? And whats ideal for my specs?

I'm using Fraps Version 2.8.2 and it's smooth to a point and I'm using a NVidia GE Force 7300LE PCI Expressx16 dedicated memory 128MB
Total memory 256MB
Pentium 4 Processer @ 3.06GHz
512MB of RAM DDR2

Overall Its good but play back after editing it's poor. I'm not sure what my LFS options are and I'm to lazy to open it.

I've fixed the problem but now Stuck on another one. I'll make a video and edit to my likeing and save the video and use DivX Converter to convert it to HIGH DEF but when I play the movie it's all distorted and looks pretty bad, I cant seem to understand why this is happening. During the editing process I'd replay it and it looks awesome but after I save it; it looks like shat I'm using Ulead Video Studios 10 to edit the movie. I'm kinda new to this video making stuff. If some one can help me out I apperciate it alot.

By the way I have a GeForce 7300 LE NVIDIA Graphics Card

PCI Express x16
Dedicated memory 128MB
Total Memory 256MB
512 MB of RAM

Ok I just downloaded DivX, anything else?

Quote from blub-blub :

Did you look at the filesize? My fraps movies have like 200 MB for a couple of seconds. Thats why you need to edit them and compress them to a smaller filesize using something like DivX. When I try to watch those raw files I have the same problem you have. And you can solve it by editing them.

Editing the movie? I have Ulead Video Studio 10 if thats what you mean. Or do I need to do something to the SPR file? I'm lost

Quote from mcintyrej :

On the box where you've selected "Microphone" click it, then see if "Stereo mix" is one of the options. If it is, use that. That records what sound is coming out of your computer.

Ok I'll go through Step By Step. When I open FRAPS I have Record Sound Checked, And Detect best sound input checked as well. My Sound Device is SigmaTel Audio and the Sound Input is Stero Mix.

Now I go to control panel, click on sounds and audio devices. Click Volume Control, Click Options, Then Properties, and click Recording And click Stero Mix?

Well I'm using Fraps Version 2.8.2 to capture my footage and after I'm done gathering my footage I'll press F9 to stop fraps and I'll review it in Windows Media Player and the first thing thats noticed is the major LAG in the movie and the sound is not accurate, meaning the movie is playing slower then the sound. I've tried different FPS in FRAPS but It seems like it got worse, and the sound is the same. I cant determine the problem and correct it but Hopefully someone on here can help me out a bunch. Should I have programs closed while I'm doing this or what?

Much help is needed Thanks- Mike

Well i got it recording through my microphone now but it sucks because it'll pick up all kinds of noise so i must be quite.

Ok well I got it working and now the only problem is I have no sound after i'm done and view the clip there will be no sound on windows media player. Can some one help me out. I'm regesteried at fraps and just bought it today so I'm still new to it. Thanks
