Ok, so I'm thinking about getting Gamecam (although it records no sounds, it can at least record forever), although my graphics are not that great, I have urges to start making my own montages, and I have a GREAT idea for a machinima with my fellow clan members. Ok so my questions are these:

1) Does Gamecam screw up the framerates as bad as Fraps? I heard it doesn't, but I'm making sure.

2) I heard about the ridiculously huge recording box that comes out while recording in-game footages. Exactly how big is this box? But please, don't describe it, if you can, can yo guys post a picture of Gamecam in action in Halo or something? Google hasn't helped me so far of how big this annoying box will be.

Thanks for any help guys, and hopefully, I'll be at work with the montages and the machinimas very soon. ;D

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

there is proabably some free audio recorder out ther that you could download but most of he time in monages people just input music for sound. hopefully gamecam footage wont be butchered as much by WMM.

Holy crapzorz.

It's that big? All the enemy infantry units coming in towards my right, won't be in my sight! (unless I squint through the box, but that's retarded).

Thanks for the pic, but I might have to think more about this before getting Gamecam, that box may be a bit of a hassle to play with... I mean it might be good to play with MMO's or something (since most MMO's allows you to rotate your screen view), but nuh-uh, that ridiculously huge recording box is not good for FPS games.

Well I was considering trying Gamecam until I saw that pic. That is just too big, I'm not worried about anybody sneaking up on me for the low and right but that is a lot of realestate to be blocking.

Are there any altenatives to Fraps besides GameCam? There must be, but I havn't found any. I, like you, have the urge to create montages, mostly because I have some rally cool music for one.

Yup, that was the question I was about to ask just now, when you beat me in the post. xD

And yeah, I have so many cool songs I want to put in my future montages, I'm actually about to click "download" on the gamecam and fraps homepage...

So as Chairman have already asked, what's a good game recorder, that can record non-stop, or AT LEAST 20 min.+ ? It doesn't have to be able to record sounds, I might never put in sounds in my montages anyways, except my musics. And something that doesn't wtfbbqpwns my framerate as bad as Fraps, and something that doesn't have a ridiculously huge recording box as Gamecam.

Can anyone suggest a better game recorder? Thank you for any answers.

Actually, GameCam CAN record sound. You just have to hit the S key or something while recording. It's awesome, because you can turn it off and on at your convenience, rather than muting it in the editing program.

GameCam FTW!

It does not eat framerates.

You can remove the recording box with a simple push of a button

Shh! That's software piracy. That's illegal! <--hypocritical

Yes, I admit I've torrented a couple games in my time (old ones that aren't in production anymore)

Back on topic: I once had fraps and it worked fine for me for about an hour, then it killed my comp and I had to do a rollback. WTF is up with that!?

Anyone who has Gamecam (the free one), try pressing F4. I've talked to bitterbanana on AIM, and he said that might be the toggle for the annoying box. C'mon guys! Try it out, and tell me if it works or not, whether or not the box dissappears.
