But to summarize for you, I use fraps with the Vista trick to record full screen. It's 37$. You will have to re-encode videos into a compressed format though for youtube. Files are too big from fraps (gigs). I like Fraps because you can check-off computer sound AND microphone sound at the same time.
(Btw the vista trick is to press windows-key+tab and then the Aero alt-tab opens, then you hit record on fraps and release the keys and now your screen is being recorded).
You can try Camtasia or w/e, I haven't.
Finally, there is also Microsoft Expression Encoder Screen Recorder (comes in Expression package I believe). I have used this and it is good and produces decently sized files.
Quicktime Pro on macs can also record screen and produces nice file sizes. I have used this on my Mac. I don't know if the PC one can record screen but probably.
FYI I know these things because I've been recording 100+ sc2 editor tutorial vids on my sc2 channel, so I've gone through some hoops lol.
^ All very sound advice!
I too use FRAPS (www.fraps.com), and so do most who record PC gameplay, it's just the go-to program. Do the Vista Trick he mentioned to be able to record your desktop. To compress Windows Movie Maker is a great free program.
What software do people use to record Diablo III footage? What will the staff be planning on using for the beta? And if you say FRAPS, how do you have enough hard drive space to record for a practical amount of time?
Almost everyone I know uses FRAPS, seems to be the best available at the moment.
Storage space? You just need to compress! I use Adobe Premier Elements to edit and compress all my footage (SC2, D3, etc etc). Another popular program is Sony Vegas, a free and watered down program is Windows Movie Maker.
But I got another question, since I am rather worried I won't be in the beta I was wondering if you are going to do live streams during the beta so when I won't be able to play I could at least watch someone else play the game for me. Maybe even help find some bugs
For certain I will be doing some Live streaming, it is quite possible that other members of FSG will be helping keep a near continuous stream up as well (ie. Tempest). So that whenever I myself am not playing there will still be something available. The streaming will be done right on our YouTube page.
Keep in mind that I plan to upload videos EVERY DAY of all 5 classes playing through the Beta. Exciting times.
Um, your newest youtube podcast talking about cooldowns armory, and shields,
it for some reason has 305 views, and somehow managed to have 393 comments, and 423 votes XD
perhaps there is something about youtube I don't understand?
just thought that was weird and felt like pointing it out, but maybe it is common place?
It is common for videos to get 'stuck' at around a 300 view count for the first few hours. Then they update. View counts don't update real time after the first 300. After that point they'll update every 6-12 hours. It's odd, I know.
Just the other day there was also a major malfunction with YouTube view counts, but its since been fixed.
I just made an account to say great work!
I'm a big fan of the podcast. You guys have great discussions and debates
without all the blind WoW bashing like so many people on forums and other
podcasts do.
When the Diablo 3 Beta is upon as, as well as during release, there will be a regular daily schedule of Diablo 3 content on our channel. Well as we steamroll our way to the start of the Beta I figure now is as good a time as any to start that consistent level of content, so from this point forward there will be a new episode of Purgatory released every Monday!
like said here:
YOU CANNOT control followers, and when they die, they just passout for a certain period of time then revive by their own (dont dont have to go to town to revive them), they never really die...and also they level up even if you dont take them with you toi battle.
so you dont have to make them XP in lower level areas.
also that lvl 25 item is just a unique item you can equip ur followers, maybe some kinda special follower item or something.
you were right man, that guy is a dick saying that you can control followers.
How's it going? If you would take a moment to really listen to the podcast, you would realize that this was recorded prior to any information being known about the followers. The only thing we had to work with was the leaked video. In fact I do believe I said at least 2-3 times that this was the case and much of our discussion was speculation!
Thanks much for listening, hope I have cleared up your confusion about our discussion.
Please feel free to give me your thoughts and input on our podcasts or any of our videos!
The Beta is not too far away, and I will be producing multiple (5+) videos daily, want to be sure things are down to a science by that point. So that you guys can get the highest quality videos out there.
Hey Hunter!
Thanks much, trying to keep the quality high and the quantity consistent =)
