GGPO recording software

[Tekkaman]

Here is my dilemma: FRAPS does not seem to work with FinalBurn. So upon trying Hypercam, things seemed well until I recorded sound. Anywhere between 16 and 20 FPS and the sound is constantly messed up. I found 18 FPS to work well when playing the CPU for testing purposes, but online it's just a joke.

Here is my question: Is there any software that you all know of that will record in FinalBurn that will not give me the desynched sound that Hypercam does? I haven't tried Camtasia yet because I know it works just like Hypercam. Having sound helps me feel like I'm actually watching the match as opposed to listening to music overlayed on the video.



My idea with recording these matches are to be able to put up match sets and maybe we can start up a Match of the Week thread or something along those lines. Is anybody interested in this?

Isnt the sound messed up in general when you play online with GGPO?

Yeah I don't think there would be a point in recording sound anyway since it's already bad. FRAPS should work as long as the thing is on full screen mode right? Camtasia will probably work but it's not as good as FRAPS for recording games.

EDIT: I was testing Camtasia and I couldn't find the right settings to make the video record smoothly. I was playing SFA2/ST on WinKawaks and it recorded fine. Afterwards, I switched to GGPO and when I watched the video it was lagging. Whenever I tried to make the video save with DivX/XviD/ffmpeg codec it gave me "Unable to write AVI file frame."

Anyone have any good settings for Camtasia that will make it record nicely?

Oh and also, does anyone know and good compression methods? Right now I'm just using SUPER to encode the video in DivX and it seems to help a lot.

EDIT #2: Okay nevermind I got Camtasia working. Some people also use HyperCam to record videos...

From what I understand, VirtualDub is the most commonly used compression software. I personally don't use it, but every major guide to video compression I see uses it.

^^^ Link to compressing video with XviD, however you can select any codec that you want really :)

Fraps won't work because FinalBurn doesn't use OpenGL or Direct3d

Who needs the sound. Just throw some 3S music over it. :lol:

Would be nice if there was some sort of internal mechanism to record input and then replay offline. Its something that can be easily implemented and would solve sound/lag problems with playback.
