Lith I'm going to see what I can do Smile

I've got a mac version of a Fraps type app.

Not quite sure what the Ringmaster has in mind for this Clowning... last one I was on was a LONG time ago and certainly involved a lot of people Cliffdiving. The whole event took a fairly long while and that will chew HDD space... but I can see what I can do.

working on it

Teamspeak has recording functionality built-in. I will set up the Teamspeak server to record the clownees' audio during the event.

Video-wise, I can run Taksi during the event - I have plenty of hard drive space. Of course, video would be best recorded from Lith's point of view but she runs on MacOS so can't run Taksi.

Also I'm not yet sure what part of the CLOWNing I'll be running so I may be with the CLOWNees but may not be. Someone else might have to record the video, and I'd rather have someone familiar with the software so there are no "oops it didn't record" moments Smile

Shall I game from another computer then?? I can go to my parents? The image is terrible, but it'll be worth it.

Yeah I was thinking that or fraps.... I can run one or the other from time to time and coordinate with you so that we have good coverage?

I run Mac OS X too... and as stated we have a software option.

It works pretty well - but takes a fair chunk of your frame rate with it. Can be set to record your Mic or System audio (so would include Teamspeak).

Fraps you have to pay for so we can go for Taksi which is free.

Light and I have discussed it and I think we're gonna go for me recording the events at Honor Hold with the guild and Light recording the events with the CLOWNees. We will have a Teamspeak CLOWNing channel that will be recorded from the start and I will dub the audio onto the resulting video.

Light and I will need to practice first though Smile

I don't think Lith's macbook is up to the job Smile

It already struggles to play WoW judging by my experiences while over there Smile

Ah, if you are playing on a Macbook it's using shared ram for the gpu. Though there have been a few upgrades in the OS and WoW that may have improved framerates recently.

I'll play around with my application anyway - simply because I've not used it recently anyway Very Happy

I was told to install 2GB kingston ram on it instead of what I got now... what'll that do Lutze?

You can *upgrade* macs nowadays? I thought a mac upgrade involved throwing away the old one Smile

Hefaistos.. A small advice... Dont drink to much.. You might run into hordes and then you will as we all know turn on autorun... look at the stars while doing so and chat to ppl about the fact you actually know what sunders is...

2gb ram would probably help quite a lot - though your main issue is that the Macbooks (non pro) use shared memory for the graphics, instead of using a dedicated graphics card.

I'll go through a load of settings changes that work well with Mac's as they are not the same ones as PC based.... even though they look the same.

I won't be able to do this without my game machine alas, so will do it when you are next online at the same time as me.
