How to record War2 game for Youtube
« on: March 28, 2015, 11:45:51 AM »
What program do you guys use for first person recording?

I tried War2Insight and War2Video but neither have a normal video file extension output.

I also tried "Fraps" but it doesnt capture properly

What do you mean? When you use hypercam, start the recording (F2) AFTER the game is started. With default codecs. It should work

I use War2Video and record over it with Debut Video Capture.  I then use VideoPad Video Editor to add music and make a few edits before I upload it to Youtube.  I play on Windows 98 so I'm unable to run Debut on it.  Debut may be a good software to use to record your games on the fly but I've never tried it.  They are both paid software with free trials and can be downloaded from www.nchsoftware.com.  I think they may have free versions as well but I think you're limited in what format you can record or convert to.

My windows 7 laptop was able to record war2 on fraps, but my XP desktop at the time and my windows 8 laptop can't run it on fraps.

How about OBS? I use it for streaming and it works great, very lightweight and easy to set up. It can be configured to output to file only without broadcasting, but you could just go ahead and register on Twitch and use it for streaming. If you configure Twitch to save past broadcasts they have a built-in feature for sending your vids straight to YouTube.
