Sorry to make this but nobody answered me in the SC Vids thread... I put camtasia on to record brood war, and when its done it is all neon colored and unwatchable because of this. If I disable the display acceleration, Im unable to record because brood war or camtasia closes, or both. What can I do to get clear recordings as seen in the starcraft videos being made?

Could it be? I hope not, this comp is brand new...
|
No, I am wondering which one.
|
Or, do you have the newest drivers?
|
o dont start recording in the lobby, start it when the actual game starts
|
dont do the acceleration thing either

I should have thought of that >.<
I am 99.99999999999999999% sure that the pallete changes when you go into a game, so that is probably your problem.

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

To all of you with 512mb of ram... does the game slow down if you use it? I am afraid to try and get my comp bogged down.

And it isn't too slow? Good, I've been wanting to make a fpvod for a while.
|

what laggs bw during a camtasia record is
-) slow harddrive -) harddrive with dma disabled -) buggy motherboard chipset drivers -) slow cpu (but anything above 1.2ghz should be no prob at all) -) fragmented harddrive
|
I can't imagine ram not being important. Are you saying it writes directly to the hard drive?
It would have to convert the pallete and write to the hard drive 7.5+ mb of video per second.

anyone for godssake can help me plz yes?

jacen... my IDE channel device properties say that "Device 0" current transfer mode is PIO, but "Device 1" is Ultra DMA mode 2. should i be concerned about device 0 or am i set for DMA?
