Make the most horrible Let's Play video you can.

Put it on YouTube.

1 point for each rude comment.

50 points for a Retsupurae making fun of you.

Only noobs spend skill points as soon as they get them.  Seriously.

That's Diablo 2.  The video is of Diablo 1 and Kazz is playing a Warrior.  He said so.

Looks like that's a point for Kazz!

Frocto uses Camtasia, which I experimented with and quickly despised when it fucked up my videos.  It has a nice UI though.  If you can get it to work for you, more power to you.  However, it is not free (30 day trial).

I use FRAPS, recording at 50 fps at 1440 x 900 with the audio input set to Microphone.  (For my Curse Ep 1 video, I actually didn't do this, I had headphones on and had the microphone recording in GoldWave, and for some reason FRAPS did not record any game sounds like I thought it would.)  I turn the speakers up all the way because the microphone picks my voice up far better than it picks up what comes out of the speakers.  And I don't have any audio sync problems whatsoever this way.

Then (at least, for the Portal video) I open up the AVI in VirtualDub if necessary, cut it up, for whatever reason it doesn't want to encode to DivX so I just make it a Microsoft Video 1 AVI at 90 percent quality and "process every other frame" (which converts the video to 25 fps) and then I open up TMPGEnc and make the huge, gross, bloated AVI into a tidy little MPG which looks just about the same.

For some reason, MPGs need to have their dimensions in multiples of 8, so I have to change the resolution from 1440 x 900 to 1440 x 896.  Go figure.

I assume that I can use VirtualDub to string several AVIs together (FRAPS cuts them up automatically as soon as they hit a certain length) but I have not yet tried it.  When I tried to do it with Camtasia, terrible things happened.

Yeah, I use Camtasia because it's what Romo turned up in a five second google search for "HOW DOES I MAKE VIDEOS" or whathaveyou.

It's really not that bad a program. I tried using Fraps, but I found the interface awful. To record sound, you need to open up the Sounds thing in control panel, right-click and unhide the hidden settings, turn stereo mix on, set Camtasia to record stereo mix and then turn playback on for your mic so your mic plays out your speakers. Then Camtasia records any sound coming out. I can individually troubleshoot you fucks if you like.

I record at 640x480 because that's the resolution for all my emulators and I used to have the sound at 50%, but now I have it at 75% (and live with the occasional bit of static) with the volume for the videogame set 20% lower in the mixer. Should have set it even lower for Another World, those laser sounds are fucking bitchin'.

Once I'm done recording in Camtasia Recorder, I cut like a bitch in Camtasia Studio. Ctrl and + zooms in on the track. I must've deleted at least 50% of the footage for my El Viento LP because it was just me smouldering silently with rage.
