Hi,

my goal is to record my Diablo2 gameplay.

But I've tried a whole bunch of screen recording software (all free shareware from the net) and none seem to work -- an error always occurs whenever I maximize my Diablo2 window.

For example, in the case of Hero Screen recorder, the error is "courseware2.exe has encountered a problem....needs to close"

I tried another game, Warcraft 3, and it was the same error.

Here`s a link containing most screen recording software wether it`s open source freeware or commercial / shareware. Hope this helps you in some way

I cannot speak from personal experience, but I have seen the SnagIt program highly recommended in several computer magazine articles. While not free, they do offer a free 30 day trial, so you will be able to tell if it works for you:

yes,SnagIt is great. i have been using it for a long time.
recentlly i have used kind of screen capture software calledACA Capture Pro, i think it can handle it .

Reply to DanielSmith

both fraps and snagit will do a good job, however I'm have not used them for a while so I'm not sure which is best but fraps advertises as being able to record games

Does anyone know any software for broadcasting a desktop to webpage?

Reply to drewaz

not sure what you mean by that :?:

Reply to edklite

Basically i'm looking for something like FRAPS or snagit, but instead of capturing it should be able to broadcast live video to internet.. Any ideas?

Reply to drewaz

you need some webspace or run your pc as a webserver but that subject does not belong in this topic.

but unless you got the pc and specs and line speed for it I would not recommend streaming from your desktop
