BF2S Forums Recording Gameplay

First of all, Fraps IS the best program to use to record in-game. The reason it seems so laggy is because your system cannot handle recording and playing at the same time. I recommend lowering your settings in-game to see if that helps with the lag, or add some more RAM to your rig.

Second of all, VirtualDub is a program to edit video files that you have recorded with a program like Fraps, and then output those files as avi so you can continue to edit them more in a program like Windows Movie Maker or Adobe Premiere.

oops, my bad.  Thanks for pointing that out TriggerHappy.  Like I said I've never been able to install it so.... remember to take ALL of my advice for what its worth.... which is usually nothing

The problem is probably your video card-- a 5200 just won't cut it these days...I had a 5900xt and it could barely handle medium when I overclocked it pretty far

It is 2 sticks of 512 to answer your question, and the problem with my computer is...
It comes with a crappy power supply and in order for me to upgrade my vid card to a better one i would have to replace the power supply(prolly to a 500 watt), thats like 150 bucks down the drain, and im not ready to drop like 500 bucks on a power supply/video card right now...

Its ganna have to be soon though... I hate how fast computers go out of date..lol

Thanks for your help everyone, i guess im just ganna have to take footage standing still, haha

The weird thing is sometimes it doesnt lag me at all, ive never experienced any lag from it on Wake for example, dont kow if it was just the server or the map... w.e

I have a 450 Watt PSU for my 7800GT and it works fine, so 500 Watt would be a little overkill.

It you really lag that much, make sure that you have closed all background programs so that just explorer.exe and BF2 are running in your user account and see if that helps.

As far as I remember you could have 1st person view in the battlerecorder demos - from the perspective of any player in the round. I think right click toggled it, and then you shifted person in the Q menu (or was it T?).

Right click (as far as i know) just changes it to free chase cam....Thanks tho..lol

What is a good and -=EASY=- (remeber ima noob at this) program to use to edit the videos, the virtual dub program looks  a lil confusing...

Ive been using my cheap windows movie maker that comes with xp... its efficient in cutting clips and sterf..

I need to learn how to combine clips and fade to black and add text and all that fun stuff..
