Title: Audio Capture
Post by: Zeep-Eeep on May 16, 2007, 08:32:06 pm
I'd like  to make some movies of Super Melee battles. I've tried some video capture
software, but all I get is the video, no audio. Would someone here be able to recommend
software (preferably free) that I can use to turn my Melee experiences into
videos. I'm using Windows XP.

Thanks!

That app doesn't capture audio.

It's possible to set your audio input device to line out on xp instead of microphone.  Go to volume control -> properties -> recording device and you should be able to set up windows to take your line out as input, then you go and record with your software.
not all sound cards support this.

FRAPS does audio capture as well as video capture extremely well. It has two downsides:

1) You gotta pay to record for more than 30 seconds at a time.
2) Windows-based. Some people can't use it.

I'd look into adding recording abilities to SuperMelee (the netplay code is a good foundation to build recording facilities on, and getting full-quality video of UQM games at a data rate of a kilobyte or so per minute (without even trying to compress) would be awesome if people want to share their gameplay videos), but there's a lot of other nice stuff that needs to be implemented.
