Guest Ecio Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 How would one do that? Bryan use FRAPS to capture inside the game, then something like VirtualDub and DivX Codec to compress it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan2799 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks Ecio, I got Fraps and DivX stuff... Only problem I have is the game slows down when I capture the video, so a 1min lap takes 1m15... Any way to get around this... Strangly, the more fps I set the Fraps to, the smoother the capture was. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaap Wagenvoort Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Bryan, you also tried to encode with full frames. Capturing and encoding in DivX in realtime takes a lot of CPU power and therefore slows down the process. If you have two PC's and a TV-card you can also use one PC to play the replay, send the video with TV-out to the TV-in at the other PC where you capture the video. Sound can be captured with a 3,5" cable that goes from wave output at one PC to the line-in at the PC where you capture the replay. It is quite a long process, but has nice results. I'm also currently experimenting with showing realtime coverage of netKar races online by using Windows Media Encoder to produce and offer a live video and audio stream online. It works, but I suffer performance issues (playing netKar and encoding and streaming on one machine is too tough for my AMD XP2800+ ) Lots of possibilities though!!

Any way to get around this... Strangly, the more fps I set the Fraps to, the smoother the capture was. Bryan the ideal approach is -play your race -save your replay -choose a lower resolution (i.e. 640x480) in the video setup screen -capture fullsize, real time fps (30fps) and full resolution -compress and spread your video on the net that's because capturing is really cpu (and disk) consuming and the higher the resolution you use, the heavier the cpuload would be, with the risk of losing frames. So the best approach is playing at the usual resolution (e.g. 1024x768 or more) and then lower the resolution and capture from replay. I generally capture @640x480, then resize 2:1 with VirtualDub and also cropping the video (giving it a more widescreen aspect). That's because im on a dialup and i dont have big hosting space, so i want to create small videoclips ~1mb, with low divx bitrate (300-500kbps) (you can watch some of the in the second link of my signature). If you want better quality, just mantain 640x480 (and higher your divx encoding bitrate). PS Dont forget to compress audio too!! PPSS You can also choose "half-size" in the capture screen of fraps, so if you're playin @1024x768 u'll get 512x384 videos, but i prefer the former approach feel free to ask more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaap Wagenvoort Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 That's a clear description, Ecio! I will try that one later on. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack57 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If you have a DV Cam and S-Video out you can record it in real time and then use Firewire or USB to capture it for editing in Premiere or similar. Cheers, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecio Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 of course if you use webcam/camcorder or a dualpc config. with video out on the netkar pc and videoin on the "editing" pc you can do amazing things, e.g. recording videos while playing (if i remember well daf used this tecnique for some videos on nkzone.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest max 2 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If I remember right I hear that is better to keep the 32bit in the video setup of netkar if u are using the 1.9D version of Fraps! if u have the 2.1 version (not free) u can also choose to save the audio or not and use different screen-res on capture, the 1.9D alows only 640-480! night people!

Guest daf Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 of course if you use webcam/camcorder or a dualpc config. with video out on the netkar pc and videoin on the "editing" pc you can do amazing things, e.g. recording videos while playing (if i remember well daf used this tecnique for some videos on nkzone.com) ehm... not exactly... i used a dual...CPU (Dual Athlon MP 1800+), anyway in order to grab a video with a good framerate is much more important to have a speedy HD than a powerful CPU.
