Anbei eine tolle Seite mit wirklich geniale FS Videos.

Ein paar Tipps des Videomakers:

Leonardo Andrade - Navigator Productions

FRAPS / WindowsXP

- Always use FRAPS' latest version: www.fraps.com

- If possible, always capture to a second HD. This will free resources from the main HD where FS/Windows are running, and will give you more FPS.

- Defrag your HD before capturing! Weather you're capturing to a second HD or to the same HD you're running FS. This will also help.

- Try to run as few programs as possible in the background while capturing footage. FS AutoStart is a good program to do that.

- Set FRAPS to capture in full-size, at 25-30fps(depending on the FPS of your final video) and check "No cursor" and "No sync"

- I never capture sound. All the sfx I need I can add in the video editing software. This will free even more resources and allow for better framerate.

FS2004

- I always capture at 1024x768. The final video will always be in a lower resolution(640x480, 720x486, etc) so unless you're making a vid in "High-Def" above 1024x768, you should stick to that resolution, again this will allow for better framerate.

- In the display menu, limit the frame rate to the same as the one you've selected on Fraps.

- If you use an on-board soundcard, turn off the sound in FS. One less thing for the PC to take care of!

- If your scene does not include any AI traffic, turn it off or lower its density.

- Lower the autogen complexity and lower the visibility to around 30 - 40 miles. This will give you better fps.

- There's a little add-on called "Message Killer" available at avsim that will get rid of the red message bars (brakes, replay, view, etc) that are distracting in a video.


That's basically what I use to capture my videos. The main idea is to free as much computer resources as possible for FRAPS to do its job.
