Recording LFS - Crille - 2012-01-08 18:44

Sooooooo I got a urge to make a LFS movie but first I need to be able to record in good quality. If I record 1920x1080 32bit and with every setting at highest I get about 10fps which is lame. When I got the computer I thought I could record LFS without problem but it doesnt seam like it.

My specs:
i5 2500k 3.3ghz
GIGABYTE GTX 570
8GB ram
Fraps to record

Here I found a fast fix, changing to 1920x1080 16bit but as you can see colours look wierd at some places.

Have tried recording in slowmotion and then speeding it up but the final result is way too low FPS to be enjoyable. So I'm just wondering if anyone got any good tips that might let me keep good quality and decent FPS.

Turn off AA in the game and the fps problem should go away.

RE: Recording LFS - Crille - 2012-01-08 19:20

Ye, I can record fine with AA completly off but I would like to have AA still on for quality sake.

RE: Recording LFS - Tommer - 2012-01-08 19:23

Same reason I always record from replays.. Recording in realtime always lags for me, AA on or off, geuss that's just my slow machine though..

Try this Crille.

RE: Recording LFS - Crille - 2012-01-08 19:26

@Tommer The testing I describe above is from recording replays Smile

Will check that out Nick

Afaik the video encoding (compression) takes most of the cpu power at that time. You could try to disable video compression and recode it afterwards with some other tool.
You will need a fast harddisk though as the files created are very huge.

I would try on my own but ain't got Fraps. Can't cope with demo-version either.

If you get 10fps slow it down by 0.250 and then speed the video up 4 times. You will end up with 40fps.

Lol at Lowrider half way through the vid!

Where is that option?

Could perhaps and overclock of the CPU solve it? And I have an SSD that I can save on.

Try Bandicam. It doesn't seem to lag as much as fraps and still maintains good quality.

Fraps and LFS don't like AA, I actually have a video posted from my old machine that had this issue too.

I can record max settings (HD Graphics only supports x4 AA) with Bandicam with 25-30 fps.

RE: Recording LFS - jam1e - 2012-01-10 00:46

bug with the game, i can record at a smooth constant 60fps in fraps, but the games fps jumps around.

RE: Recording LFS - FR4NOx - 2012-01-10 00:57

I did some testing and it seems that fraps runs quite well on my pc (1366x768) max settings, I don't see why you're getting such a low fps with a quad threaded cpu.

Have you posted this on the LFS Forum?

RE: Recording LFS - jam1e - 2012-01-10 01:11

Problem is with the game, not with your pc. Your specs are decent and should be able to record without any problems.

RE: Recording LFS - Chuck - 2012-01-10 07:56

"Force lossless RGB capture" would be the option. I'm a bit astonished though, that this thing of software doesn't offer any video-format related options. Pretty lame.

RE: Recording LFS - Johan. - 2012-01-10 13:04

I can remember Fraps being able to do that before Chuck. (Or was it Hypercam... hmm...)

RE: Recording LFS - Crille - 2012-01-11 09:49

What I have tried:

Turn Force lossless RGB capture on, didnt do any worth mentioning.
Turned of AA in LFS and put on full AA in Nvidia controllpanel, looked as bad as just having AA turned off.
Tried saving the recordings onto my SSD instead of my HDD, no diffrence in FPS.
Tried out Bandicam. Basicly gave me the same results as Fraps but with an anoying link put on the finished video.

This sux Glare

I guess it has to be the game as Jam1e says because I can record BF3 in 1080p on high settings and get decent FPS

RE: Recording LFS - Crille - 2012-01-11 11:05
