Comments on: An Alternative to Fraps http://mmoquests.com/2009/11/24/an-alternative-to-fraps/ A peek into my world of mmo gaming Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:48:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: stargrace http://mmoquests.com/2009/11/24/an-alternative-to-fraps/comment-page-1/#comment-11419 stargrace Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:01:10 +0000 http://mmoquests.com/?p=2749#comment-11419 I'm absolutely loving Game Cam, a minute and a half of video is about 100MB, I can edit them all with microsoft movie maker (very simple and amazing program) and they can also be uploaded directly to youtube or where ever I want from there. The quality is fantastic, it hasn't caused any performance issues what so ever (and if the amount of videos I've made in the last week is any indication) I'm having a blast. I love being able to zoom in while filming, and adjust the quality to a number of settings, as well as take sound from microphone / in game at the same time. Makes videocasts really easy.

Xfire records to a video folder, at which point you can take the video file and edit/upload it to YouTube. Both wegame.com and xfire.com allow you to upload the videos to their respective sites as well, but if you only do that you miss out on the larger YouTube audience.

I have used fraps, but I don't like the performance hit that comes with it for me, so I will check this out. Nice, thanks for the information.

I fixed that this morning I believe, changing the format to MP4 instead of AVI made a HUGE difference in the uploading time, and it worked just fine.

What problems were you having with YouTube? Sometimes YouTube gets laggy and takes a while to process uploads to a HD version, so maybe go back and check them this am? I haven't found a good alternative to YouTube for game content. I kind of like Vimeo but their terms of service specifically states "No gaming video". I've used Photobucket but it didn't feel much better than YouTube and is more obscure, so... :( Thanks for the write-up!
