In-game Mac recorder

[Kyle May]

I was wondering if anyone knew a good game recorder that can be ran with Mac. P-rec is windows only, and using the built in recording function is kind of sloppy. Anyone know one? Thanks!

Why not fraps?

All P-Rec does anyway is record a demo. Which isn't difficult at all. Just type record in console with the name of the demo and type stop when you want to stop recording.

OS X has Quicktime already which has a screen recording option on it.

Seriously though just record a demo. Less of a hassle. Won't lag the crap out of your game. You can render demos into video files later.

>inb4 Mac that's your problem (Seriously someone's gonna say it.)

What the hell do people have against Macs? It's not a bad system, OS X is a hell of a lot better than Windows 8 at least. It runs smooth, no risk of viruses, malware, etc. And it's not as if Macs can't play anything.

Now lets not stray off topic.

Kyle, recording a demo is easy for getting small moments in your game, but if you are recording footage for a video your making or something similar, Quicktime has this feature like Goz said. Just open QuickTime, then under one of the menu dialogs there is a start recording option.

Kind of sounds like he's just messing with you, Goz.

Anyway, on topic, fraps is your best bet if you don't feel like just recording a demo (which is probably what would work best)

I will try out Quicktime, and if it lags my game, then I will record a demo. Thanks Goz!

As I said earlier, fraps is sadly only for windows.

The only reason why mac's doesn't get virus is that people don't make viruses for mac's.

Use this. Also includes info for exporting a demo. Then you just have to compress after. Easy enough!

Geez, get a real computer, who uses Mac, I thought the world was already using Debian.

Why not use Dxtroy one of the tech guys suggested it to me and it woeks wonders. I dont know if its usable for Mac bur you can try.

The point being that there's nothing on Macs worth writing a virus for.
