Video capture card on their computer request

[Zippy the Wonderslug]

Heya everyone.

So yeah, I'm hoping to get a response from someone here who has this.

You would simply Desktop record about 30 seconds on your computer screen watching me play a game of pool.

I would love for it to be in HD with a high frame rate.

I've tried using CamStudio myself, but with the computer I'm using, I get about 1 frame every 8 seconds.

I'm thinking that I would probably need to online chat or even make a telephone call to whomever might be up for this.

So I'm sorry if that scares anyone away.

I just want to upload an original YouTube video that might make a few people happy by watching it.

This is a preview of what you would be recording that I made earlier today.

I don't use CamStudio but the following Youtube video should answer your questions. Your slow frame rate may be due to the machine you are trying to record on - recording multimedia content will always test your machines capabilities. I have been transcoding some DVD's to MP4 (720 and 1080) and this is taking about 30 minutes plus with all 8 cores of my Intel i7 CPU at approx 80% so its pretty intensive.

Screen capture is directly affected by CPU power, HDD throughput, and probably memory. So yeah. But I'd think any modern setup would be able to do it handily, just so long as you use a low-latency lossless codec designed for capture, like HuffYUV. I wouldn't chance using a lossy codec for it, unless you were doing some sort of active live streamcasting (although I think that's usually done through a webcam, so that wouldn't quite apply). Any cleanup work or better conversion can be done later.

FFmpeg can directly capture the screen using either the DirectShow capture device or X11, and that might shave off some of the issues involved in resource overhead incurred by the program itself, but unless you're comfortable with the command line, that's sort of a no-go.

That sounds...off (says the guy that taxes an i5 so that it encodes 24 minute videos in 40 minutes @ only 480p, but still). What kind of processing and encoding settings are you using?
