Wanna start a LP Series

[smexy912]

Want to start a lets play series with technic pack but dont know what a good program to record would be. Anyone got any advice on what i should use?

[Niavmai]

Fraps is the only option really worth bothering with, IMO.

Hm thats what i was thinking. Guess its time to shell out dat 30 dollars XD.

It's just what most people use. I'm sure there's other options.

I fiddled with camtasia a bit in the course of other pursuits and wasn't impressed...

Quite a old list but;

Mostly these days people tend to simply go for twitch + xsplit tho.

Its a easy way to do things really.

at one point long ago I tried to start a LP series, but gave up because it was too much work. however, I did a bunch of research and testing of various capture software and came upon a gem called dxtory. the reasons this program was the one I went with are multiple.

-doesn't cap FPS at recording FPS

-doesn't bog down the game while recording like fraps

-can record 64-bit programs unlike gameclaw

-can save game audio and mic audio as seperate tracks in the video, allowing easier volume adjusting/editing

-can use all kinds of codecs

-can actually double as a webcam that broadcasts your screen/game. useful for livestreaming

-highly configurable, all kinds of options

-doesn't fail randomly for no reason like fraps enjoys doing

it's a but more expensive than fraps at 3600 yen or about $44 according to google. however it's worth every penny and is so much better than fraps.
