LiveNoMore Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What is the best program to use when capturing video? I have been using Fraps for screenshots, but found that even at the lowest setting video eats up a lot of memory. A 30 second capture uses over 100mb. Any recommendations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Any video capture software is going to eat up a lot of space when it's recording its raw input. People who've done a lot of vidcap work tend to get an additional hard drive, both for the space, and so that the reads for game purposes aren't interfered with by the writes being made by FRAPS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Agree with Womble 100%, biggest thing I can recommend after doing CM videos for over a year now. Get a second hard drive and ensure you have plenty of RAM and a good GPU. The raw recording will always be enormous, it's once you edit it and put it altogether into a normal video file for upload the size becomes more manageable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
