I was wondering what the best tools, software and method is, in order to make a small youtube preview vid for a project.
It's been ages since I've recorded anything, but I remember Fraps was pretty good atleast for recording in game? If I want to record myself as well on a microphone at the same time, to do a 'voice over' can it handle it?
Get fraps, then play around with its settings till you can hear yourself on the recording. if theres no game sound, use the settings that only record game sound, open up the volume control thingy (the one from windows, not sc2/fraps, or whatever else), and play around with its settings till you can make microphone volume appear, and unmute it (you'll hear your microphone after you do this, so whatever you say goes back into your speakers/headphones and comes out again) then record again and balance out game and voice volume :)
you'll need a program to compress the Fraps video files though. VirtualDub does nicely for me.
No problem :) Good that you "acquired" the full version, lol. Have fun recording - and dont forget to delete stuff... This eats your hard disk space faster than i eat your cookies.
Also, gratz on the 100th post. i need 2 more :)
That's an understatement. I have a folder for all my recordings from fraps and I just went there and saw that I was using like 50GB from just like 5 minutes of videos.

Hi,
I was wondering what the best tools, software and method is, in order to make a small youtube preview vid for a project.

Any advice please let me know, thank you.

Thanks, I actually got it working pretty much first try. Fraps only seems to let you record 30 seconds thou on free version :/
EDIT: I 'acquired' a full version so no worries :)
It's aa little choppy on my meager comp thou :p
