Video Capture

This is recorded with Camtasia at 30fps then repackaged to Quick Time Movie format:

890kb for 9 seconds of movie. XD

When I recorded this it did lag my computer somewhat, and I almost messed up on the drag.

I tried a variety of codecs with camtasia, the fastest one with the most acceptible framerate was an earlier divx 4 fast motion codec.  It was still pretty crappy looking in the end.  

The filesize is no concern, I just want something with decent framerate.  Even quality is no big deal as long as you can see what's happening (we've all seen the graphics).  

PS: I just watched yours, and it looks like the framerate is about what I ended up with:  12 FPS (though to watch it, it looks close to half that).  

If anyone is bored enough... please experiment with different codecs and see what you end up with?  

I also searched for a long time on a way to trick gunbound into playing in a window, but no luck.

SLDK: Filesize is no problem, freeware programs like virtualdub can take the original movie and recompress it with divx as well as reduce the height/width of the movie (you don't really need an 800x600 movie to watch gunbound).

A 30 minute match can be compressed to 100 megs and be pretty watchable, IF we could only find a capture method that didn't require shelling out cash to get a decent framerate...  which so far seems unlikely.
