[QUOTE=Doc Powers;37232222]Wow, just looked this up. Is this freeware? Great looking program. What are the pluses of using this as opposed to Fraps for capture? My Fraps won't even start up ever since I've been getting this fucking driver error that has been [I]driving[/I] me crazy. [sp]SO FAHNEE JOEK[/sp] Also, I just realized how long ago this thread was made. He probably stopped using Fraps and ascended to a higher power a long time ago (hopefully)! Edit: It looks like you need a $45 license to use the software, am I right? I'm gonna have to be sold on this then. I don't want to find out it isn't for me. Could anyone answer my previous question?[/QUOTE] Better buy Mirillis' Action! It's cheaper and has a 10 day moneyback guarantee.

It's cheaper and has a 10 day moneyback guarantee.[/QUOTE] Cheaper =/= better It doesn't even look like you can change the codec on that one
Why would you even need to change the codec... in the end you're still going to edit your videos and compress them. Why compress them twice?...
Hahahahahahaha lol
[QUOTE=weenus;37257124]Why would you even need to change the codec... in the end you're still going to edit your videos and compress them. Why compress them twice?...[/QUOTE] That's like saying "Why do you need to install more codecs? Microsoft Video 1 works fine"
See, I'm also wondering "why change the codec". But my underlying question is "what is it about codec X that makes it better than the default Dxtory codec". And also I don't know if it will slow down my computer even more when I'm recording (the Dxtory codec beats the crap out of my machine, so I'm wary of the unknown).
[QUOTE=weenus;37257124]Why would you even need to change the codec... in the end you're still going to edit your videos and compress them.

The built in codec, if I remember correctly, has to be converted before you can watch it even.
Also, not all codecs are best for all situations.
