How to record video?

[jjsullivan]

I'm sure the help forum wasn't the right place for this, so I thought this would be the second best bet.

I can't seem to record with any program from my game's directx output, so far I've tried wegame, taksi, fraps, gamecam, xfire, nothing works! It may be the fact I own the steam version of the game but that can't be right. Help?

Hmm.. how about reinstalling DirectX and graphics drivers?

Good idea, I'll try recording another game first though to make sure.

It did work with another game, I tried doing this anyway and it didn't work.

EDIT:

Actually I tried the lastest demo version of fraps and it works! I'll just go all out and buy it. Thanks for your patience with me lol

another nice option (and its not slowing down host computer):

you need 2 computers, one with TV card, and 2nd with at least two video outputs (to connect more than one monitor).

then connect 2nd output to TV card, set cloning mode, and record the video on 2nd computer

I was researching a setup like that, fraps was the more economical decision.

yes, but if I would ever need screen recording other than roaming in windows i will use method described above.

fraps is pain for the fps
