mutu Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I've been searching the internet for game recorders which support EM4. I've found a few, but the quality is to bad and it makes the video lag. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 You can record videos with Fraps and the quality is normall quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutu Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Fraps doesn't work well on my computer. It ends up with a lot of lag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tian318 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Did you try Taksi?it's basically the same as Fraps, but free.And you can turn the frame rate down on it.makes the movies not as smooth, but it will stress you pc less out.also it does not record audio on it, (saving even more precious cpu and mem space).You can also try to find some driver software for you graphics card.some Nvidia card have their own video recording software for games.

wasim12 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yea I would probably reccomend fraps. I used v3.03 and it came out quite well. Beside I am pretty sure your computer is better than mine, I am only just using a radeon 4650. Good luck and happy recordingP.S. Here is a vid I made : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastyBill88 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I use obs it's free to use the full version. Only problem is it can be a bit of a pain in the arse to set up at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to adjust quite a number of settings before you can get satisfactory results. An example taken by me using OBS.https://vid.me/o3OyI personally choose OBS over Fraps just because of the lower filesize, and that .flv is much easier to play with than .avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then like you said its just fine tuning it to your preferences.I save mine in .mp4 format then its easier for me to load/edit them in Windows Movie Maker (don't laugh shhh lol).

With Fraps, you aint getting under 100mb for an 8 minute video. More like over 10gb or more. WIth this OBS and a bit of playing around, 100+mb would fit an 8 minute video. I've only tested OBS with vid.me and noticed much better upload speeds than YouTube. I will be uploading something soon for sake of comparison.

With some mods I can play & record for over an hour its the file size is only 900mb+. Where as with others I can play for 30-40 minutes and the file size is 1.5gb+. I have noticed that with the London mod the file size its alot higher for some reason then any other mods. But saying that I can play Spintires or Euro Truck Sim 2 for 30-60 minutes and the file size its like 600mb. This could also be because I haven't optimized the settings for EM4 lol. True, I think it takes longer to upload on Youtube due to all the different video quality options. Plus it depends on how good your upload speed is. I only have 1.1mb up speed so its takes a couple of hours to upload to YouTube for a video which is 800mb+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
