Youtube:MegaUpload:FileFront:FAQ:Runescape lags when I try to record a video. How do I fix this?Unfortunately, screen recording programs take up a lot of your computer's resources to do so. These programs slow down your computer when you use them - computers with faster processors, video cards, and more RAM will lag less when recording.The only thing I can think of is to lower the Frames Per Second (FPS).
By default, hypercam records 10FPS. Lowering this will making the play on Runescape smoother, but will make your video choppier.How do I change the quality of my video?There are a few things you can do. However, note that each of these will slow down your computer when recording.- Increase the frames per second. More FPS = smoother video. However, this will cause more lag when recording with a slower computer.- Increase the Frame Compression Quality.
The default is 75%. If your computer can handle it, up to a higher number (100% is best). If it cannot, it will look like your Runescape has frozen until you press f2 to stop the recording.- Select the Full Frames (no compression) video compressor (under the AVI tab).
This will capture every single frame and will give you GREAT quality. However, because these files are uncompressed, they take up a big chunk of your hard drive. A 30-second (10FPS) uncompressed video is about 700mb.
(1000mb = 1gb)How do I record sound?I have tried recording the sound in Runescape, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure why. If someone could answer this question, then please post here.Other programs:(30 day free trial, tutorial posted )(5 minute limit w/ watermark on free version)Mac Programs :Linux:: I haven't used this, but it has been recommended for Linux users.Please post any errors and/or anything I should add. Or suggestions.
CamStudio, found here: is absolutely EXCELLENT. Free, open-source (SourceForge ftw) and no nonsense watermarks.I HIGHLY recommend downloading the CamStudio lossless codec as well, so you can make videos with lossless compression. So they don't look like a bunch of JPEGS (gross!). Lossless ftw.Just a note: the player has a small bug where it deletes a section of the video when watching it, however the actual file is NOT corrupted so if you watch it in Windows Media Player or any other player, it's fine.EDIT: Another bug I found: recording takes out a 1 pixel high and (half of video width) pixel wide section of the video when recording; this seems to actually be in the video.I have my C book on my desk and Visual Studio 2005 Standard is awaiting shipping from Amazon so hopefully I'll be able to fire it up and fix a few bugs! I'll check right now if you can use it on a Mac.EDIT: Hypercam is a no-can-do for Mac users.EDIT 2: here are some from Apple.com that should work for Mac, though they are demos and sharewares.Thanks for putting those links up there. I downloaded them but they dont seem to work.
Whenever i go to start them they do the animation (bounce up and down in the application bar) But then they just stop. It seems they wont open.And yes i am running on a mac.
