Hi,
does someone here know how to make a captured movie
while playing?
I heard of a command for that, but doesnt seem to work in mohaa.
I also tried an external program..(camtasia)..but the result is bad....
It doesnt matter if the output is avi, mov, mpg or whatever....thx all!

Easy as pie.

Get yourself a video card with TVOUT and TV in. Set up the television as another monitor and run it as a duplicate desktop. Run a cable from the back of the card to your VCR and set the VCR to use the video in as its source. That way you see the same thing on your TV as what is on your comp monitor.

Launch the game and hit "Record" on the VCR.

Now comes the easy part. Play back the video from the VCR to your puter and run a sweet little proggie by Adobe called "Premiere".

You capture your video from the VCR and save it out as an .AVI or .MPG

There is no easier way to do it that will still allow you to play the game and record video at the same time, unless you have another machine standing by to capture the video directly from your box while you play.
