any that can help me find a place where you can dowload a in game camera thing like fraps so you can record when you are gaming

 

[blizbiggy]

there is gamecam and fraps but you have to pay for them.

Xfire allows you to record in-game, and it's free.

Xfire also has good quality

Cicatriz - please do not discuss piracy of any kind on this website. We've had situations like this before, and it's clearly not ok in any fashion, whether you're joking or not. Thanks.

You could use gamecam. There is a trial/limited version, but it works in most games. Unfortunately, I could never get it to work with TF2. There is also the problem of it showing what's being recorded in the bottom right corner, so it obstructs your ammo count. It's not very high quality, but it gets the job done with relatively minimal disk space. It also has a watermark that can't be removed unless you buy the full version.

Fraps also has a trial version, but that one is limited to 30 days. It has pretty crystal clear quality, but it does have an unremovable watermark for those using the trial. It also takes a lot of disk space on higher resolutions. It also likes to cause slowdowns in FPS rate. To specifically counter this, I went out and got a 9600 graphics card. Not the recommended way, but I wanted a new graphics card anyway. I mean if other people are gonna be watching, it's nice to really show off the graphics. So in example, if you run a 1280x1024 resolution in-game with 60 FPS at half-size, you start running around 1 GB for 10 seconds of footage. If toned down to say 30 FPS, you can go about 30 seconds for 800MB. Just fiddle with the settings on Fraps and in-game until you get something you can accept.

You could also use the in-game recording, but I'm not sure how to work with/edit that.

Xfire, you get a bunch of stuff like a time bar, fps, recorder, and you can move them around to suit your liking!

 

[Ma$termind]

Humm, I didn't know that Xfire had a free built in recorder... I might just have to download that..

 

[Mr. Dogma]

Yeah, I think I'll give that a try. Might use it over Fraps if I think it's good enough quality, especially if it uses less space.

 

[Squishy]

I believe that TF2 has a built in recorder but i'm not sure how to get to it.

The ingame recorder is, well, not something you wanna use if you are going to make machinimas. Ive got the Fraps full version, but it doesnt work for me. Anyone mind telling me how I record with Xfire?
