I don't know does this topic already exist, if it does please move it there or something but here goes :D I downloaded fraps again and I wanted to start recording some games and even NHL 04 :) But the problem is back in the day when I played my Olympic Tournament (with Slovakia) and there is even a topic or a ''season report'' here on the forum, but anyways when I played the tournament I recorded a few goals with fraps and it ran pretty well, no lag etc and the videos were good (well I think if I remember I had the black bars problem but that's not much of a big deal) and I even had some fighting videos with no lag, now the problem is that I forgot even what settings did I use back then and other stuff and now I watched a video on youtube with so called good settings that are like 120 fps while recording and I tried that and it didn't seem to lag much but the video played badly with lag etc... So if anyone can help me here with the settings or an advice I would be really thankfull :) Here are my PC settings btw:

Yes I know, my PC is terrible...Is there anyway that I can be saved ? :D

P.S One more thing, I really know this is off topic but can someone please tell me why does NHL 2004 (this is the original game, no mods on it) always run in windowed mode ? When I am playing a game it is fullscreen and no problems but when I run it it's always like this and I remember a month ago even with the modern mod installed it was the same :unsure:

Funny, I was going to post something similar but my issue is that fraps will show a nice 60 fps (when I've got v-sync enabled in the launcher) but as soon as I hit record, it drops to about 15 fps, so the gameplay (and videos) are choppy.

I read around the interwebs and found you should record to a separate drive than what a game is on, so I tried saving the videos to my F: drive (external drive) since the NHL04 Rebuilt is installed at C:/nhl04 as the instructions said to do.

Nada. No change. The videos are still a slow 15 fps.

I've got a fast Win7 machine, with an i7-2600K @3.4GHz and 16GB of ram so that shouldn't be the problem. I also can make videos of my steam games (MLB2k12 for example) from my F: drive to the C: drive at 60 fps or higher when I turn v-sync off.

So, I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong either.

I recorded Track Mania Stadium for like a minute, the game has high settings on graphics etc, so I recorded it with dxtory on 120 fps and the video worked just fine, smooth wow, I will try on other games :gum:

The problem with FRAPS is that the files get gigantic. Then you have to compress them with a different program. At least that was the case when I still used it.

If you find a good alternative for NHL 2004 recording let me know. I'd like to make a new official video for the community.

Well dxtory is a good program and it didn't lag for me at all in the Track Mania Stadium, like around 33 seconds the file was like 300 MB's and for FRAPS that would be like 1.3 GB's , that is just crazy :D I will try recording on NHL 2004 and let you know trent, I was also thinking of making a video for NHL 2004 that would be like a commercial or like an intro and it would have all mods in it :D

Cool. If you can make intros and stuff, I could provide you some gaming footage. Views from arenas, jumbotrons, etc. with some Launcher FOV trickery.

Is Dxtory freeware?

Hey, I just tried the demo of that dxtory program and it works! Full 60 fps video! Took me a bit to figure out sound but I got that working too.

Now, it IS a demo, though, so you have a big logo over the top of the screen (like a watermark). I checked the price of the unlocked version and it's $31.00! That's kinda pricey for me! I'll have to keep looking around.

I am learning myself on a program called Movie Studio Platinum and it's pretty good acctually :) I used to work on windows movie maker back in the day when I played the Olympic Tournament and posted videos, simple stuff :D But now I am trying to get HQ videos and also trying not to make such amateur videos like back in the day, so I will get back to you once I get a hang of things and I am leaving my home, a short vacation :ph43r:

Hey Trent, I'm back and I tested out the dxtory program :) It was pretty good and I made a video already but not about NHL, about another game, take a look at the video a little bit a tell me what you think. The quality can get alot better and I could maybe make a video for NHL 2004 if you want :) Here is the video B)

P.S You can also switch to 1080p if you want, I don't know is there any diffrence but you can if you wan't to :)
