Guest PeterNZ Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 Any ideas where i can find a little app that will turn whatever is on screen into a movie file? It doesn't have to be big or anything, just i have some ideas for an avi or two i'd like to do with CM running. I'd also like to be able to add sounds and change the quality/look of the recorded avi/mpg/whatever. ta in advance. PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbo Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 People have told me that hypercam or hypersnap works really well. I havent tried it myself but the link is here. http://www.hyperionics.com/ Hope that helps. _dumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterNZ Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 Thanks for that. it's a good program, but only records desktop, won't record an active full-screen window like combat mission :/ Might try the MS one PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 Aye, if someone finds something that runs on the PC LET MATT AND I KNOW. The ONLY thing stopping us from giving you some spectacular movies for download is the lack of such a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argie Posted March 17, 2000 Share Posted March 17, 2000 I do a few screen captures with Corel Capture 7. Is a utility inside the Corel Draw package. Ariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted March 18, 2000 Share Posted March 18, 2000 Ok has anyone tried running on a card that uses tv out. Run through a vcr and record as you play, then run the tape through a capture device. Don't know if it would work but thought I would throw it out there.

PanzerShark Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 Hypercam as mentioned does record CM (did it myself), but you MUST use "directx-mode". That way it records your active screen and not your desktop. But there's a better program, called "snag-it" or "snap-it". Recently i've been using it a lot at work and seems to work better (higher-res support...up to 800x600). In a few hours the weekend here is over, giving me the chance to find the correct name and url at work. Posting ASAP PanzerShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterNZ Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 Um, Ps, don't mean to say you're wrong, but sure that direct-x option isn't with Hyper-Snap? Hyper-Cam has no such directx option and i've been fiddling with it a bit more and still can't find any. In other news, downloading SnagIt from www.download.com and will see how it goes ta PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterNZ Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 Update: SnagIt, while quite powerfull, will not capture 3d accelerated stuff. PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerShark Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 Aah, well i think i might know yer prob then. Although i never tried it might be an accelerator prob. Are you using a second card as 3d-accelerator? I'm using an TNT2 Ultra (one size fits all . And i have no probs with both proggies. Maybe the programs use the 1st videocard they can find, and that isn't your 3d-card. Maybe that's it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted March 20, 2000 Share Posted March 20, 2000 I remember that the older version of Windows (3.11) used to have an AVI capture tool. For some reason Microsoft took this feature out of Windows 95/98 but I think that if you copy the executable from an old version of Windows, then you might be able to use it in Win 95/98. Worth a shot. Microsoft might actually have it for download on their site, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterNZ Posted March 21, 2000 Share Posted March 21, 2000 hmm, yeah. I run a righteous 3d 4mb.. I have an ATI Rage but it wouldn't cut the mustard.. If someone can record avi's etc of CM, could they please reply saying they definately can.. and if they want to work with me on some cool ideas, that would be just super! I have some cunning plans So .. get in touch! PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
