Deusrexmachina 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Hi all. . I'm searching for a program that takes screenshots and possibly also videos that's easy to use. FRAPS, meh, dunno why it doesn't work (and I'm talking about the free version, with it's link on top of the video) or I can't make it work -more likely-; I have IrfanView too but... I don't understand how to activate the capturing. I have tried a lot before opening a new topic, and this for me is the last straw. Since most people here are experts, can you please gimme an e-hand? Thanks a lot in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddo 0 Posted January 2, 2008 "Print Screen" button on your keyboard is also worth a try for the screenshots. If you bother to switch to a graphics editing program to do a "paste" and "save" before taking another screenshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you bother to switch to a graphics editing program to do a "paste" and "save" before taking another screenshot. I... have done that with OpF (HALP!!!!!! BRAINFREEZE!!!! ) and a bit with ArmA, but it is a hassle to always copy & paste, especially if you want to do multiple screenshots. Oh yeah, there's also that little teeny bit problem of high possibility of crashing the whole system, not only the Cobra you're flying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddo 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Before you shoot down an idea, please understand not everyone knows even the existence of a "Print Screen" button... I've met enough people who didn't so I thought why not make sure this guy here knows about it. Surprisingly often people don't know it can be used to take screenshots. But I'm sure Deusrexmachina now knows enough options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm sure Deusrexmachina now knows enough options. Wehey, I didn't even think of shooting any ideas. I too have acknowledged at a later stage the Print Screen button, and I too know how it feels to not understand how stuff works, or for instance to have a not-fast connection: we have the fast line for like only 2 and a half ~3 years, and before I send to anyone files I ask them if they have the chance to download it quick without spending time and money on the phone. I didn't want to sound rude up there, and I'm sorry if it turned up this way. @[CAS] Daniel: I've posted multiple times 'cause I couldn't quote properly in one whole post the other's replies. I won't multi-post in future though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Sorry, really hate to sound like a mod when it isn't my place. Â Â They'd probably prefer it if you wrote squeezed your reply into one post though.
