Lou2000 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Just been playing around with this little gaming tool. It will show and log your game frame rate for all openGL & directX games. It can also do a screen grab and capture avi movies from the game ... i tried with CMBB and it grabs the movies no problem ...( but no sound) ... but check the website faq regarding screen resolution and file size ! FRAPS All that in a 58k download ! worth a look Lou2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj Soshtokovich Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Not sure what the value of this program is. Prehaps someone could shed light?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Steiner Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Maybe this could grab all the movies from a battle? I know some folks have been wishing for that very thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Above is for Windows. For the mac, the no.1 tool is SnapzPro . For Mac OS9 which CMBB runs under, the name is SnapzPro 2. It captures screen, sound out, sound in, all at the same time or individually and exports to Screen image, movies, etc. You can dl snapzpro at http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzpro/ note this sw is quite expensive at 40 USD, you can try free for 15 daze. cheers!

onodoken Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Lou: Thanks for the tip, I have been looking for something like this for a few weeks. Can't beat the price either! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Wildman Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 It only captures 640x480 no sound and it takes a HUGE amount of memory. Does any have a video capture program that doesn't require sending information from the video card to a digital VCR. Seems like it would be easy to just capture the info from the card and send it to the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used extensively in combat flight sims, where your frames per second is crucial. The screen capture ability was recently introduced to Fraps (a couple of sub-versions ago).
