How to record a playthrough of HOTU
« on: March 14, 2015, 09:13:35 am »


               

I use ezvid.


Every time I use "capture screen" button and click on nwnmain.exe, I only record my background with black box where should be my nwn game. Only thing I see are my background, my documents, black box and nwn cursor.


 


Help please.

               Gregion works for me, most of the time, or see this thread for alternatives.

It's not helpful, at all.

I've used FRAPS to record stuff like this:

Just a thought, make sure you have a screenshots folder in your nwn folder. I had a very similar problem when I tried talking screenshots. Also make sure that you're running as an admin, in compatibility mode (both programs). Does this video program work on other games? Have you tried asking on their forums for help?

I haven't tested other game, but I think I will ask help in their forum.

But thanks on suggestion, it could work, but I will test that next morning, since it's evening here.

Here is a handy pdf file which explains one way to record and compress video from NWN using FRAPS and VDUB.


 


Now, if you happen to have x-fire installed on your system, you can search for the file xfencoder.exe and run that.  It's quite a bit easier to compress a large recording that way (it's a simple GUI) but your mileage may vary when it comes to the bitrate (i.e. quality) of the resulting compressed video.
