Fraps
 

How in the world does it work? I've anything possible to record home videos through it, don't ask why, but can't make it work ... Any ideas? Oh and I've read the help too :D

what do you mean record home videos? Fraps gets its data from directX.

It is used for recording directX based games or any other directX screen. For example, you can record the visualizations in Windows Media Player using fraps.

I was running my home videos on WMP and trying to record with FRAPS. :D

Well only thing ive managed to get recording using fraps was gaming things so weird u got wmp visulations to record!???

i think u cannot record video in media player because of soemthing relating to it playing as an overlay, similar to u cannot take a screenshot using print screen or a video playing.

however i think u can change an option somewhere, sry i just cant remember, but i read about it recently becasue someone was havign a similar problem.

there are loads of apps that can do it anyway. even the free windows video editor that comes with xp, or something like VirtualDub which is me free weapon on choice for most video related stuff

Well, after a little bit of investigation I found out that the videos I was playing were of FLV format. New Flash Video format.

So, I'll give VitrualDub a swing. Let me know if there anymore people!

Thanks.

depends how you are connecting them i guess. i was a bit confused when you were tryign to record a mmovie that was a ready recorded on your comp, but i guess u have something connected somewherer direct to the pc?

I've video hosted somewhere and I'm streaming it from there and trying to record it to play with different bitrates. Makes more sense? :D

in that case VD would be no use. u need a proggy like StreamDown - havent we had this conversation before!?

all you have to do with that is paste the streaming url into it and it downloads the whole lot in one go.

Tried StreamDown. Only able to get Sound not the video. Apparantly, FLV is not supported by StreamDown. Looking for new streaming down catcher upper. :D

hmm will keep an eye out for something.

i hada proggy installed that captured flash files from sites, but i cant rememebr its name

Interestingly there's no Format converters out there either, i.e. from FLV to MPEG or AVI. Converter is out for reverse.

buzz me on msn dd, i cant see u

for video think you need something like windows movie maker it do have a optiion to record movies in it, but it is limited i find "InterVideo WinDVR" is very good recording home video clip onto HD and later take it record it to a DVD or CD using some other media recorder program like Nero 6 or some other program.


i have my setup as for:

Cable input>VCR>Tv-Card (PCI-Card)>"InterVideo WinDVR" to record it onto HD then i use> Nero 6 to record them to a CD or DVD, it all so can do Double layer (Hardware DVD writer DL) DVD 2x bigger then a normal DVD-4.7GB, DL DVD-8.4GB

Not working SB. Says No Flash on the page even though the file is streaming! :(

Thanks Chief. But I'm trying to do something different here. I'm trying to recapture FLV file.

Yo Yo yo SB!! Any luck?

maybe if u gave me a link to what your trying to save :/

How about this as an example?

There is a prog. that will convert your flv but I dont know of any free ones, but if interested you should look up sorenson squeeze, its what i use for my flash videos ;)

maybe i can edit it for you somehow, im not sure what ur looking for but I would like to help if i can.
