This issue is really starting to become a -blam!- for me. I've been trying to do my machinima movies for a long time now, and with CE it worked fine. Now I try to make the switch over the H2vista. Halo 2 offerers loads of good ways to make machinima, however, when I can't get fraps to work, i have a problem. Randomly, during any point in recording the game all of a sudden goes dark. The sound and frames stop and then the game blacks out. After a few seconds I can still hear everything thats going on, even talk to my friends who are online, but all I have is a black void and a cursor flashing on and off. I don't want to go pay for a capture card (though I should) so does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue.

Things I've tried:
Run as administrator
Different Versions of Fraps

Both of those failed.

Thats not the point, the point is no matter how hard I try Gamecam won't record anything. Fraps is simple, press a button and you record. I don't want to have to go through twelve thousand hot keys and go through profiles and crap like that to film what I need.

I agree, gamecam was difficult for me I couldn't find out how to record, Fraps was simple, one button for on and off. what type of video card do you have?

No image tags? Bleh!

Search up ZD Soft game recorder my friend, great it is. Though the trial has restrictions, theres places where you can get the license...
