Herculine Posted August 28, 2010 How do I record a video (not a demo lump, but like a YouTube clip) of myself playing through a WAD run on ZDoom or GZDoom? 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted August 28, 2010 You have to use a program like Fraps to record the video, then another program like VirtualDub to encode / compress it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted August 28, 2010 Most people press the screenshot key 35 times per second. 0 Share this post Link to post

Herculine Posted August 29, 2010 Use3D said:Most people press the screenshot key 35 times per second. I want it to be a good quality video, so I'm aiming for between 45 to 50 per second. Perhaps I'll hire an epileptic to hit the SysRq key for me while I'm playing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Andrea Rovenski Posted August 30, 2010 I use camstudio. Pretty good quality. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted August 30, 2010 Actually. You can write a consol script that takes a screenshot every gametic or whatever and record the sound separate and then combine the two into a vid in an movie editing program. But, it's probably easier to just download fraps. 0 Share this post Link to post
Herculine Posted August 30, 2010 So far Fraps has been working pretty good for me, but it has been a trial-and-error learning experience. Ideally I wanted to record myself playing through the map in GZDoom with lighting effects enabled, but with the two programs running simultaneously my framerate gets hit so bad that it ends up looking like a moron is controlling DoomGuy. But if I switch over to ZDoom at a lower resolution it runs quicker, so that will probably be what I run when I make the final video. 0 Share this post Link to post
NaturalTvventy Posted September 1, 2010 I've worked on and off trying to figure out how to record DOOM for utube myself. I've found that the best way to make you not look like a newb while recording is to first record a demo of what you want to go on the net, then play the demo while recording so your gameplay is not affected by lag. I haven't been able to record sound sadly using my PC Windows7 lap top, but ah well. Some day I'll get to do that DOOM Let's Play. NT 0 Share this post Link to post

I haven't recorded any dooom videos but I had considered it, and if I did this is the same approach I would have taken too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Herculine Posted September 1, 2010 I've never recorded a demo before. I wouldn't know where to begin... 0 Share this post Link to post

Herculine Posted September 1, 2010 At the moment I'm trying to do it using the Eternity frontend. I've checked the appropriate boxes but can't see that it's recorded anything... 0 Share this post Link to post

Ultraboy94 Posted September 2, 2010 If you have a cross-game program called Xfire you can record in-game Skulltag very easily, just press CTRL-V to start recording and CTRL-V again to stop recording and save the video. This is what I usually use, FRAPS makes me restart recording every 30 seconds and camstudio just acts retarded on my computer. 0 Share this post Link to post
