Unfortunately, Fraps and Game Cam are not free. In addition, many people can't use Fraps because it needs a quite fast CPU and hard disk (the game you're recording may become very slow or even unplayable) I found a great open source alternative called TAKSI which can record videos including sound from DirectX and OpenGL games and, most important, it allows to choose a custom codec. The DivX codec I chose is a little outdated but still a good compromise between compression speed and quality. Step by step: 1. Download and install DivX or any other codec you like I recommend to use an older version of DivX (6.8.0 is best), because newer versions from the official site are full of bloatware. You can get the old version of DivX codec (6.8.0) here: www.file-upload.net (uploaded by me, virus free) www.megaupload.com (uploaded by me, virus free) cuartoinformatica.tecnojulio.com If these links don't work, you can: - Do a google search for divx680vfw.exe (be sure to scan for viruses after downloading) - Or you can use the almost identical XviD codec which is available at: www.xvid.org NOTE: In my video, I used the DivX codec instead of XviD, so if you choose to use XviD, the configuration steps may differ! You can use any other codec you like, just remember that some codecs eat up a lot of CPU and thus aren't suitable for real-time game recording. 2. Download and install the Taksi screen recording software from sourceforge.net (taksi-0.7.7.2-dev.msi) 3. Start Taksi to configure it <b>...</b>
