Screen recording?

[Crashpunk]

In the near future, me and my friend are to start a Let's play series but we can't find any good softwear and Hardwear.

does anybody know any good Softwear that recordeds the screen in perfect condition? I've heard of a screen capture device but I don't know how anything about.

And also I want to know what's the best microphone?

and



See what I did there?

[enchilado]

No. No, I don't.

[Mac Sirloin]

Fraps and anything that isn't from a dollar store.

[Crashpunk]

Thanks for that Nate really helpful...

Fraps is the best I've used for both video and audio, CamStudio is free and very good if you use it's lossless codec, but I had end tasks like explorer and others to get a consistently good frame rate

What are you planning to do that will make this "Let's Play.." different from the others already on youtube?

We're making Let's Play Crash Bandicoot then Let's Play Abe's Oddysee nothing special really.

do you know any Screen capture devices that are used with the TV with consoles playing?

[Grieva]

Don't know about recording from the TV, but both games are easily emulatable using epsxe or any other PSX emulator, which I'd expect to give you the best results

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[Grieva]

That explains why my hands covered in drooooool, eww

[Crashpunk]

How do you make fraps record the sound perfectly?

[AlienMagi]

Fraps should record the video and sound both perfectly and record a video up to the size of 2 gigabytes, and you can use windows movie maker (not recommended) or sony vegas (recommended) to edit the quality, size, transitions and stuff like that.

Good luck

[Crashpunk]

I fixed it, don't worry. Now onto the Recording my TV.

I found somthing on amazon that might be able to record but i'm not so sure. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyCap-Vide...outThisProduct
What do you guys think

[Grieva]

The price is right, but theres a lot of negative reviews and it has no win7 support.

It sounds like IF it works it works well, but thats a big 'if'

[Crashpunk]

£7.00 isn't too much compaired to a DVD recorder. So I don't mind the IF.
