    Fraps

    I recently installed FRAPS but cannot initiate screen shots or videos, even with the default key binds.

    I have a mac so perhaps it is to do with this?

    Does it ONLY work in-game or can you take pictures and videos out of game?

    Re: Fraps

    Did you install 2142 on your Mac OS, or did you use bootcamp and install windows and install there?

    I believe FRAPs is windows only. FRAPs will only work if you are in a game, cannot record video or take screenshots of anything but a game or some video filetypes.

    Apologies. I have a Mac but run XP with bootcamp.

    I'll give it another go in-game tonight and get back to you.

    Not sure if you resolved this yet? But with my fraps, I had to reduce my video quality for it to work at all. 30 fps worked best I believe.

    I did indeed fix this, thanks.

    Only 30 second videos, without sound for me though

    Yeah, with the demo version that's all you get I believe... Actually, it should have sound... But for me, never seemed to record what I was saying just the rest of my squad. I know it can be done - and this post by ExplodingSilver should have much about as much info as anywhere on TG.

    Re: Fraps

    Just bringing this one back. Yep, everything seems to be in order now.

    What does everyone use for their key-binds? The standard ones also toggle my viewing angle.

    So what software do people use if they want more than 30 second clips?

    Ummm... I bought it. Comes with upgrades for life. Works with every game I've thrown at it.

    Re: Fraps

    Good answer. I'll do it! So what key binds do you use?

    P.S: Hmm, my lovely ribbons should be showing up on my posts now but they aren't

    I'm probably doing something silly so don't worry about worry about helping me fix it until I have checked the massive ribbons thread.
