HI everyone, I plan on getting H2V soon and I was wondering how I would go about recording my gameplay. Is there any techincal things I have to buy and put in my computer, or do I just need a certain program that records the gameplay for me? If so, can someone recommend me a good program that I should consider. Thx. By the way, I hope i posted in the right forum; if not sry.

unfortunately with fraps you will have to have a monster of a machine if you want to record and play with ok fps :(

FRAPS, but it records poorly in Vista it seems. I'm talking like 8 fps only, when H2V on XP stays at a solid 30... at 1680x1050.

I found this cool alternative to fraps the other day called Taksi. It's open source... The last stable version isn't made for Vista, but it does a decent job of recording in Vista (not amazing, though) It has a lot of different codec options. It also allows you to pause your recording... I've play around with it just a little, and it seems like a nice program.

Then try GameCam, I don't know if it works for Vista, however.

FRAPS is a pig on any OS, don't use it.

ZD Soft Game Recorder is rock solid on vista, although finding it on a torrent has been challenging....

Sorry, I saw the title, and since I can't change the name like the mods, I had to post this!

And to keep me out of trouble, you use Fraps to record video.

Some people use GameCam, but the watermark int he unregistered version is horrible...

FRAPS is made from win and awesome. Your computer probably can't handle it.
