Alright ladies and gentlemen. If you’ve been following my blog then you know that in a previous post I was asked by a friend to do some video game play by plays or whatnot. I had posted a video testing that out for a ds106 Video Project. Probably not the best idea I’ve ever had since I doubt many people would benefit from a tutorial on Jungling in a game they don’t know at all. Anyway, I won’t be doing ds106 forever and I’d like to hang onto this blog in the future so since it’s getting closer to the end of the semester I’m going to start uploading some none ds106 material. People who are interested can watch as I slowly learn how to make high class game videos, analyze different games or tournaments, or just screw around and make a .gif where I put Nigel Thornberry’s face on a disney princess. Also for those of you that read the blog post about theyou’ll know that the video I used was pretty choppy and grainy and not to pretty to look at.

Camstudio could not deal with the high level of graphics and the processing power that is required to run such a game. After searching around for different screen capturing software I found something called Fraps. It’s a screen capturing, screen recording, benchmark making software. I ran a test and the results are shown below in a new 30 second youtube video that I made.

The video looks much better in my opinion. I have yet to test the full capabilities of the software but when I do I will upload a tutorial. Also I will be adding some different categories to the side bar.
