A Canadian Cat Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I use FRAPS: http://www.fraps.com/Some of its features do not work in Windows 10 but capturing in game images and video work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleader Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, forgot about fraps, thanks. Did they remove functionality of the PrtScreen button or something? I noticed even now in CMSF it doesn't work, and it used to, and it's not a Win 10 thing because my CM games are all on my desktop (Win 7). Also, how do you take one without the text overlays in-game (i.e. 'Paused') or do you have to edit those out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc844 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Irfanview is a handy little program as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly remember using it to paste into Paint when I used XP.Fraps is the default free workaround ( I use Irfanview to convert the bmp's to jpg/png as the free fraps only gives you bmp's )Text overlay like Paused can be removed for screenshots by Shift-Esc Edited February 10, 2016 by Baneman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that limitation with FRAPS. Does that mean you use IRFan to take the screens as well? Which of these programs (FRAPs, Bandicam, IRFan) is best for recording videos? I seem to recall using FRAPS ages ago in CMBN and being unable to get it to record for more than 30secs. Which of these is least resource-intensive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think the free version of FRAPS only allows 30 sec of video. And the files are HUGE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I use the free version of FRAPS to take video of gameplay from various angles in a crude beginner manner and then use some other free program I dl'd to join them together into a longer video. Then I upload to my youtube channel. See link below.So far it seems easy but I have another CD to do better more sophisticated editing and add in music or whatever. Take it to the next level and go for the Emmy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleader Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I think the software with my GTX 950 does video (Shadowplay?). I wonder how that is. Have to give it a try.

aleader Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I'm trying to drag and drop (or choose the files) screenshots into a message here but I keep getting an error that you're only allowed to upload 501.76KB? The files are around 376KB. What's going on?Edit: reloaded the page and now it works. Is it normal to have to do that each time?

aleader Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 So my first ever screenshots after 16+ years on these forums! They won't win any awards, but they'll get better I hope: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a daily size limit for uploading or something? It would only allow me those screens and then said I only had 0.2MB remaining and I couldn't attach any more? Also, how do you delete a post? I know how to edit, but I wanted to remove one of those abrams posts and couldn't do it.On another note, I'm attempting to record with Shadowplay in-game, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it just doesn't work with CM games, but that would be odd. I'll try it with ARMA 3 and see what happens.

A Canadian Cat Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You cannot delete a post. Sorry. The upload limit is not very high and it is a all time amount not daily. Many people upload to other services and then link them to posts. I don't know anything about shadow play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried Shadowplay in ARMA 3 and it works really well. Quite easy and nice videos. Doesn't seem to work in CM though for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
