Title: Taksi: Open-source alternative to Fraps Post by: suntreader on April 15, 2008, 10:57:36 AM I finally found an open-source program that essentially has all the same goodies that Fraps has, without the frivolity.
http://taksi.sourceforge.net/ Dig it, and download. Title: Re: Taksi: Open-source alternative to Fraps Post by: pikaunforgiven on April 15, 2008, 11:45:12 AM note: this is windows only unfortunately. still no decent video capture for linux :(
great find though, ill definitely give it a shot in windows. edit: i tried it out a little bit and im not really impressed. the actual footage for some reason gets shoved to the upper left of the video and there is no sound recording (yet). the only good thing i do see so far is that it can record in many different video formats. so i wouldnt say its an alternative to fraps just yet, but could be at least for video capture once audio capture works and the video orientation is fixed.

xvidcap and vlc are the only ones that work for me so far, but I haven't managed to make them capture sound.

If you read the link you provided you get the solution. Connect your sound output to your mic input. The programs are designed for creating video tutorials. At least that should work with istanbul that I use.

O_o Title: Re: Taksi: Open-source alternative to Fraps Post by: fromhell on April 23, 2008, 04:30:20 PM There's some not-full-duplex sound cards that can't support a recording buffer and a wave buffer at the same time (and only being able to record mic, cd audio or midi)

Haven't tried it.

I also will be able to show demonstrations of this as web streams which I will host. I seen there were youtube vids in one of the pages but have a flash demo of how to set up servers and stuff using a terminal which the text will not be readable using anything like that
I'm pretty busy so depend on the community for a little help, even if it's noob things :D I am also able to take pm's from common people :D There is also an alt for linux I'm sure Title: Re: Taksi: Open-source alternative to Fraps Post by: fromhell on May 02, 2008, 11:10:11 AM it's possible to recompile ffmpeg to capture video.
