How to record my game play?

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

Is there something else than Fraps to do it with? And Freeware?

Thanks guys,

Jay

Oh, that's right!
It'll give me separated image files, right? Or is there an option for it to
make a movie file instead?
Even if these were only individual files I could always import them into
Windows Movie Maker.

Thanks Lief : )

Ok, I just noticed it made also some TGA files along. This is good. But it
would still be good to learn those additional commands, if there are any
that is.

What's wrong with fraps? dem files only contain gameplay and not any
graphical information, so you WILL need something like fraps if you
want to watch the action outside of the HL2 engine. BTW have you tried
hitting shift-F2 when playing a demo.....

Well, I appreciate your honesty about it.
I did some recording already 2 days ago, but I noticed the performance of
the gameplay goes down considerably : (
And that was only while moving around in an empty map that I started up.
Imagine if I had tried while playing online!!!
My only hope at this moment is to find an application like Fraps that would
be freeware. Oh well! At least it's nothing of importance really ; )
