How do you record a UO video?

I've heard of a program called Fraps, but UO is not listed as a supported program. Thanks in advance

Fraps will work. It is processor/memory top heavy, so if you aren't on the higher end of things, expect choppy, or worse, results.

Use Guncam if you want to record UO, Fraps is at best crappy.

Free?

Nah its not free, but im sure you can get a reg code somewhere for free but then again 20$ isnt all that much either


edit: you can still use a unregistered version though but you get a "guncam" stamp on it, and im not sure if you get the same custom abilities for your movies, but still usable

Here's the link - the last update is almost 3 years old, so no idea if it will or won't work with Win7. It's not listed as being compatible with Vista, either.

You can run Fraps without killing your FPS I suggest Fraps.

 

[Yen Sid]

Yeah fps isn't a problem for me thanks for the tips.

VirtualDub is one of the best free ones but it is sort of hard to work with for a layman.

For a good 'free' one try Screen Recorder Gold. The only difference between the free and paid version ($29) is a small watermark in the top left of picture. If you set the settings right it wont drain too much of your CPU either (assuming you have a decent comp, P4 2GHz+ should do).

Thanks everyone for suggestions. I think I'm going to try a free option before I pay for something.

If you have an G15 or G13 with an LCD Fraps can provide fps information to LCDSirReal (the mother of all G series lcd apps). The point being that it can do more than one thing, and that functionality is free.

Just out of curiosity, why were enemies highlighting purple? Is that some configuration option I've missed all these years, or is that a video effect (although it doesn't look like one to me)?

edit: Answered my own question. Config option I never payed attention to before...
