screen recorder for games?

[menards]

Hi,

my goal is to record my Diablo2 gameplay.

But I've tried a whole bunch of screen recording software (all free shareware from the net) and none seem to work -- an error always occurs whenever I maximize my Diablo2 window.

For example, in the case of Hero Screen recorder, the error is "courseware2.exe has encountered a problem....needs to close"

I tried another game, Warcraft 3, and it was the same error.

Here`s a link containing most screen recording software wether it`s open source freeware or commercial / shareware. Hope this helps you in some way

I cannot speak from personal experience, but I have seen the SnagIt program highly recommended in several computer magazine articles. While not free, they do offer a free 30 day trial, so you will be able to tell if it works for you:

yes,SnagIt is great. i have been using it for a long time.
recentlly i have used kind of screen capture software called ACA Capture Pro, i think it can handle it .

 

[edklite]

both fraps and snagit will do a good job, however I'm have not used them for a while so I'm not sure which is best but fraps advertises as being able to record games

Does anyone know any software for broadcasting a desktop to webpage?

 

[edklite]

not sure what you mean by that :?:

 

[drewaz]

Basically i'm looking for something like FRAPS or snagit, but instead of capturing it should be able to broadcast live video to internet.. Any ideas?

 

[edklite]

you need some webspace or run your pc as a webserver but that subject does not belong in this topic.

but unless you got the pc and specs and line speed for it I would not recommend streaming from your desktop

CaptureWizPro or SnagIt. If you want to record a video of your game then go with Camtasia which you can get at techsmith.com
