One of my old videos demonstrating the results in 720P HD, SM 4.0 and it causes minimal lag.

Hi! I watched a little of your video. The quality is great, but I was wondering why you cut tiny sections out? Like when a mage is casting something, you cut to where you were behind him? And lots of times mid-fight you cut out tiny parts where you could've sped up or left alone.

It is a little irritating to watch imho, but I just want to know why you do it?

Great quality though.

Thanks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: I use Fraps for recording, it does fill up hard drive space, but you can render those clips into a video (montage or clip) and it compresses the file size dramatically for uploading. I edit with Windows movie maker usually, but have recently acquired Sony Vegas Pro 11, which is quite complicated to use, but has great results.

Obviously most RO players are like me on the forums, read the thread topic, read the first 4 words of what someone says, reply. I don't like fraps (caps rage). I tried it on 2 of my laptops hoping for different results and both times my RO's FPS went from +100 to under 12, tried changing options for the game, for my computer, no luck. I have tried many alterations of fraps as well. Just want something like Kitsunie's thing, but less... "advanced?" .. Maybe if he could post a video and explain everything, he could teach us all. aha

Hmmm for windows i don't know any program but for :

Linux- i use GTK record my desktop for Gnome and on KDE-QT record my desktop http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php

MAC OS X:- Screenflow http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm

For windows had a few trys with fraps,but looks sucks for me.

From this programs i can say GTK recordmysdesktop and Screenflow for Snow Leopard are the best.

QT-record my desktop and Screenflow on MAC OS X Lion sucks,slow record,lots of freez etc...

Ahh okay thanks. Well yeah, fraps just seems to do the opposite of BSR for me. BSR = no lag, bad qualities (for me); fraps = lag, good qualities. But with lag = picture quality videos :s

Maybe I should of said what laptops I was using and operating systems. I have 2 Sony's, and a toshiba. But I'm looking for this sony, with windows operating system. I always wanted to try linux, but i'm not quite sure what it is.

Same here ,i think to all too....
On mac went from 150 to 20-30 fps using screenflow good quality and not smooth..
here a example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JWgCXcgSzI
Also on linux is the same think.
I think on your laptop you cant make good quality movies because laptops does not have powerfulll video cards or cpu,and ro is full rendered in VGA.

I actually didn't do any editing besides speeding it up a bit. The game just jumps around like that for alot of players, even on low pings and high FPS.

nice witch setting do you use for ffmpeg?

[Anpu]

I use ffmpeg or glc.
Setting for ffmpeg I used earlier:
without audio:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1280x720 -i :0.0+328,190  -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 4 Desktop/intro.mkv

with audio:

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1280x720 -i :0.0+320,166 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 Desktop/intro.mkv

to get window coordinates, type command xwininfo. Also since I play in window mode, I disable RO window frame to get pure in game content only.

GLC:
with audio:

./glc-capture ~/Games/RegnumOnline/rolauncher

without audio:

./glc-capture --disable-audio ~/Games/RegnumOnline/rolauncher

encode:

./glc-play game-8496-0.glc -o - -y 1 | mencoder -demuxer y4m - -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts qp=18:pass=1 -o video.mp4

Video editing in Kdenlive where I finalize quality and stuff.
