Nuts, I was going to just link you to the article ( http://blizzard-gaming.com/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=viewarticle&artid=52), but since it's down, I'll type up a quick summary of everything that you have to do. Note that all of the preferences listed here are what I am using (with a 1.4 Ghz AMD Athlon), not necessarily whatever was written in the guide.

1. You can get everything mentioned here via Google.
2. Download a program for recording your screen output, such as Camtasia or... that... other one that start's with an H.
3. Download the codec of choice. DivX recommended.
4. Download VirtualDub.
5. If you have Camtasia, then do the following, otherwise you're on your own:
- Effects --> Cursor --> Hide Cursor
- Options --> Preferences:
- Video Setup --> Techsmith Screen Capture Codec (key frame every 100, Configure for Faster Compression)
- choose frames/second (I have it set to 15.0, dunno what the recommended one is)
- Program --> Hide Capture Rectangle, Solid Capture Rectangle, and Round frame size all checked; everything else unchecked
6. If you want audio as well, then do the following:
- Effects --> Audio --> Record Audio
- Options --> Preferences:
- Check "Interleave audio" and set it to something like every 1 second
- Audio Setup --> PCM format, 11.025 Khz, 16 Bit (8 BIT SOUNDS AWFUL), Mono
7. Go to Options --> Preferences --> Hotkeys and decide which hotkeys to use (e.g. F9 for start and F10 for end)
8. TURN OFF hardware acceleration (should be in your Display Properties --> Troubleshooting)
9. Start SC. Go onto BNet. Go into your game. Start your game.
10. AFTER THE GAME HAS STARTED, build + spread your workers, then press F9 to begin recording.
11. Once the game is over, press F10. The score screen and probably anything afterwards will come out really messed up in the VOD, if you choose to go beyond the end of the game.
12. Open the recorded file with VirtualDub. Set the following options:
- Video --> Compression --> DivX 5.0.2 Codec (or whatever the latest version is) --> Configure --> 160 kbps encoding bitrate
- Video --> Full processing mode
- Video --> Filters --> Add --> 2:1 reduction (high quality)
13. If you recoded audio as well, then do the following:
- Audio --> Full processing mode
- Audio --> Compression --> MPEG Layer 3 (or MP3) --> 20 kbps, 11,025 Hz, Mono
14. Select File --> Save as AVI to save your compressed VOD.

Okay, I think that's everything .

Snowster showed me how to make a VOD, Blaz, maybe u could talk to him. u have to DL the verson of divx that has adware, its like the "professional" trial version. makes it much easier. As for camtasia, i dont see a way it could mess up...maybe with the hotkeys. use either full screen or 640x480 res for the screen capture.

Well, those settings let me make VODs without any significant cursor lag... until the trial period ended and Camtasia started adding its logo onto my recordings . Now I have to record everything uncompressed in order to make SC playable .

Would Hypercam (that's the name!) have better performance than Camtasia on Win XP? Though I think I read somewhere that Camtasia was better for NT-based systems, such as XP. I don't really care which one is easier to use: I simply followed the directions in that article and I've never had any problems since o_O.

well i have an NT based windows (Windows 2000) and i cannot make a decent VOD but anyway i think hypercam lags less than camtasia... camtasia is just too bulky.

BTW... here is the code to release your camtasia :

Version: 2.2.0

Name: LAXiTY
