I'm looking for a free gif recorder that records the screen while im doing something (like playing Cortex Command ) and I was wondering where could I find one? Perferably not a trial or something like that. Thanks in advance. |

You realize CC outputs bmps that you can make into a gif if you hold print screen. |

Tape and some Virtual Dub. So you can "do" stuff. And lag comes part of the package. I don't think anybody here uses a method other than "PrntScrn" to make gifs. EDIT: But there's always Camstudio, which is awesome and free. http://camstudio.org/ You'll just have to convert the .avi to a .gif in VirtualDub (which is free). |

I use AnimGet, a program which takes a screenshot at defined intervals, and also filters out lag by not taking identical screenshots. http://www.gmdsoft.de/menne/z3c/animget.htm |

Camstudio is great, but you may have to play with the settings a bit to get the desired effect. It's what I use because print screen outputs a frame every 5 seconds or so. |

The graphics has nothing to do with it. FRAPS locks your game at whatever framerate you choose. Plus unless you have an SSD or a raid array or some ♥♥♥♥, it's gonna have slowdown from sending all the information to your HDD. Something like Crysis's recorder but universal would be incredimazing. |

Camstudio is the best niche that you should play with. You need to adjust the effects and settings. ---------------------- mask of wisdom |
