vincere Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Anybody know a free program that works with CMSF and Vista? Fraps was ok but then the free trial ended and I struggled with getting the formatto post here. Now tried 4 free programs and all have issues. A common one is that it copies cm screen as black square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boche Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 fraps has a free trial? last time i heard it doesnt, you can download a normal version that can take screen shots and 30 second record footage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Screens can't be captured: they can only be KIA'd or wounded. At least, until CM:Normandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxic.zen Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 try installing and deleting all files related to frap than re-installing it perhaps? i looked mine doesnt say anything about a trial period anywhere..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 My FRAPs is still working fine, no trial ended. Did you register without buying or something? Because at the front page of the program is an option to register and buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I don't have Vista but I imagine googling 'vista screen capture freeware' should turn up something. These days I've been entirely subsisting on google results and wikipedia articles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincere Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Cheers guys. I'm going to try Fraps again beacus I want to give CM AARs a go. By the way, if I get FRaps to work how did you get the pictures compatible with posting here? I had that issue with the last 'trial'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 By the way, if I get FRaps to work how did you get the pictures compatible with posting here? Other than uploading them to a site like http://imageshack.us/, nothing. I do prefer to change it from .BMP to a .JPG though. Mostly because it is reduced in size for quicker upload time. I got Billy from Predator on my imageshack in my sig below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincere Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 image shack it is then. Did you change it to .JPG with a Free Fraps or another program? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 image shack it is then. Did you change it to .JPG with a Free Fraps or another program? Oh you don't need anything, just right click on the file and choose rename and change the extension from .bmp to .jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Oh you don't need anything, just right click on the file and choose rename and change the extension from .bmp to .jpg ??? I recommend IrfanView for converting between image formats, because it has a batch mode. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Thomm It's not necessary, simply renaming the extension works fine. It still reduces the file size greatly at little to no image quality loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Ok, why not? Because that's probably why it expired in the first place. I've never registered my FRAPs and it still works, for years now. Just use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Speaking of the Arma series, I just bought Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead for half off. Over at GoGamer.com they gotta 48 hour sale. A nice addition for any CMSF fan since they have a lot of the same AFVs and it's similar Middle Eastern terrain. Ever wondered if you can do a better job if you were that sniper or Bradley gunner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
