Folder to save in: Chooses the folder which the movies save to when you record them.

Video capture Hotkey: Defines the key you press to begin recording in-game footage.

Size Selection: Chooses for the video to be saved in half the resolution or full resolution of the original video file.

FPS Selection: Choose how many FPS Fraps chunks out of your game to use use in the movie. Basically, take the FPS you originally get and subract it from the number chosen here to get the speed of your movie. Higher FPS is better looking video, although may lead to extreme choppiness in recording, which is not something you want.

Cursor: Self- Explanitory
Sounds/No Sound: Self- Explanitory

Sound Device: Just always choose "Detect Best sound input"

I use Fraps all the time to make my CSS movies, and its great stuff. Very easy to use. Just as a warning- be sure you have a lot of disk space avaliable when recording, the files are saved un-compressed. You can get a taste of what video from fraps looks like with my CSS movies here:

Oh yeah, the quality in those movies arent as good because the hosting service is terrible.

If your talking about the FPS, then why is the title of this thread MovieShot, and why is the photo a screenshot of the video page? If you want to make a video, do what skidude said. If you want to see your FPS in games, go to the FPS tab, select the corner you want it in, and hotkeys to enable/disable it.
 
If your talking about the list of fps at the side. That dictates how many frames per second the video is recorded at. So in theory 60fps movie would be double size than 30. And you really only need 30 hence why default is at like 29fps.

Ohh and Skidude, nice movies, the first one is the music on that by "cradel of filth" because it really sounds like them and not ehard them for about 3 or 4 years now.

And Iuse fraps, its anoying that the uncompressed video files are like 50mb for 1 sec :eek: !

Thanks, and yes that is Cradle Of Filth (song is Hallowed Be Thy Name, one of my all-time fav's) I've added on another 3 minutes to the first video, only another 2 min. to go! I'll post the final product when its done. :D

Ya, u need a LOT of free disk space, right now for that movie u saw im using over 10GB of space for all the files.
 
WOW someone else who has actually heard of "Cradel of filth". Used to love the album "Median" (if thats how its spelt) and "better suites to succubi" after that it just got abit repetitive.

And OMG thats alot of diskspace. Do you compress the videos to WMV? I tried DIVX but for some reason it never worked and said it could not compress the files. My problem is finding a balance between quality and file size so I can read the writing and have it small enough to store on computer.

And I look forward to the final product :). I should start filming me, I play Joint Ops, and I am like the master of headshots, was running around today and got like 9 headshots in a row within 20sec, thats something to film :).
 
I find that the bigger the file, the better the quality. The full AVI file of my finished movie will be around 3GB, but AVI is unrivaled quality, its like you are playing the game.
 
riiight, well 3gb i find does me about 1 min fotage. BUT I just found the option to have it half size. It reduces the file size considerably and I also dont really notice any quality drop (gues I would on a monitor bigger than 17" though).
 
How do I compress the files to hostable size? I have some movies from COD2 and there like 330 mb and I need it at under 100 mb to host it.

And is there a way to record over 30 seconds?

You should try TMPGEnc

It's a very easy program to learn and it has a bunch of stuff to change and it's free.
 
To get a file to be over 30sec you need to purcahse the full vertion which you can then download from the members area. This will also let you take screen shots ofall file types and take out the water mark in the video.

And to compress the video, just put it all in windows movie maker and compress it into a .wmv file.

Import it into Windows Movie Maker and save it as a different file type.
