Tutorial for Video-Capturing??

I'm looking for a simple, efficient way to capture video without destroying my framerate. Fraps, for some reason, absolutely kills the framerate. I like making frag videos, and me and some friends just recently started a clan (I think we're 19-0 now :D) and I'm making a montage of our games.

Any suggestions?

    Yes, I've gone to google and I've done my research. There are a few screen capture programs I've found, but I wanted to see if the more experienced players in this game could offer any tips BESIDES going to google and downloading fraps lol.

    Don't be so angry that someone posted a question lol.

    Since obviously growler and fraps are the two big names I've come across, I'll just have to mess with my settings to get better FPS. Thanks anyways.

    Try camstasia, it doesn't reduce your frame rate..

    lol to funny...



    I personally use Growler Gun Cam(Full Version) And it works perfectly fine.... My pc and video card are not the newest anymore... but they work fine.... duel core(only 2 gigs of ram), and GEForce 9400 GT...

    Setup-Capture Setup: Capture Rate(FramePS) 15 (No Lag for me what so ever)
    Width: 640 and 800 ( No Lag for either)
    Height: 480 and 600
    Capture Window Size: check full screen

    Advanced Setup: I personally left it all default

    Sound Setup: this one was a little different... so you will just have to configure it untill you test it and you see sound is recording fine( test in the Sound Setup, not while playing)

    And one more thing... if your using vista with growler gun cam.... its not very compatible... tried to use GC on another pc with vista... constant problems and the program didnt even work.
  • The frame rate decrease is because of your PC.
    Its the PC fault.

    Well, I can fraps L4D on max settings at a near constant 60 fps, CS:S at 120 fps, and CoD4 at gameplay fps. For some reason my computer dislikes recording Cross Fire lol.

    Thanks again for the help everyone.
