I have a question about game recording (audio and video software)

Jdeadevil · 03-12-2008, 02:25 PM

Hey, I want to record myself (from directly on screen) playing a game to show a friend how I play a game (called Stepmania), and he is currently trying to show me how he plays another game (Red Alert 2). And because I'm a visual learner, I have difficaulty in understanding his type ups on Msn about RA2.

Is there any free trails or freeware software programs out there that can record Audio and Video at the same time on-screen without any hardware? If so, that would be great.

Thanks!

Hmm, I'll check it out (again). The frame rate is pretty rubbish on it but I reckon I'll be able to sort that out.

Thanks! :)

frame rate significantly drops when you are recording - thats normal

It takes a bit of changing configurations before you'll find a stable frame-rate balanced between the resolution you're recording at and the quality of the graphics the game is rendering at.
