Alternatively you could use Virtualdub with x264vfw to encode your video's HD quality. However I do stress the need for your videos to be at least 720p (1280x720)
These are my settings:
So you Virtualdub (Freeware)
Then get x264vfw (Free codec) and install it.
Set up Fraps like this:
Set up osu! something like this if you can:
You might wonder why I use 1280x800. This is because it comes as close to 720p as osu! gives you the option to render
Then go ahead and record a replay of yourself of even when spectating someone
Extract Virtualdub to somewhere and open it.
Open the avi Fraps made in Virtualdub (File->Open Video File)
If your video is that long so that Fraps generated multiple files you can just go to File->Append AVI segment so it will put the videos behind eachother
Ok first problem. Youtube loves videos the most when its fedded in 720p but we just recorded using 1280x800. This is where a little editing comes in handy.
Go to Filters (Video->Filters or CTRL-F)
And from there click on Add and search for the resize filter.
And then from there we can setup the settings for resizing to 720p correctly.
Here I choose for a Letterbox/Crop. I choose this options because you will always maintain your aspect ratio and the quality will not go down. All we'll be doing is cutting off some of the screen which is irrelevant.
Then its time to setup the codec we'll be using for encoding the video to a youtube acceptable format.
Go to Video->Compression and search for the x264vfw codec you installed.
In this screen you can see some of the settings you can make as where the ratefactor should be noted as one of the most important settings in here. This ratio will be make or break your video's quality and try to regulate the filesize as well.
I use 25 myself because I found out this has been working rather well. But if anyone has better settings that will make the videos even more better on Youtube, don't hestitate to tell me.
Also make sure the Virtualdub Hack is checked.
Now we have the basic settings to make a good video.
If you are smart I recommend saving the preset you just made or just lazily my processing settings here
You can accomplish this task by going to File->Save Processing Settings, (Load for loading them
)
Then you could eventually cut out some material you don't want or add some text in virtualdub itself. I refer to the helpfile/FAQ's from Virtualdub itself for that.
Well then you can just go to File->Save as AVI, Choose a spot and save
You should see the status of the movie you're rendering.
After you are done you can the file to Youtube and after it's been processed it will show up and get the HD version a little while later.
And thats how you do it with Virtualdub and x264vfw
I am rendering the file used in this tutorial as we speak and will be editing this post to link to the video to show you guys the quality
Have fun! Jeffro

I've found that a combination of HyperCam+Xvid to record, and VirtualDub to edit, works fairly well. however, I haven't tried it with osu! specifically yet; Xvid may be a bit fickle, so you may have to turn a setting or two down. if that is the case, ing the CamStudio Lossless Codec (poor man's xvid) may also boost performance.
I wouldn't use Hypercam IMO, you will loose quality or it will not keep up with the frames.
And xvid is compressor but its better to first use the lossless codec in your case then and then use virtualdub with the right codecs to get out a nice image
lossless codec has NOTHING to do with xvid because lossless is nill compression

I have had very good quality with HyperCam. I was fed up with Fraps because it doesn't work in as many situations as HyperCam, so I did some tinkering with a HyperCam+Xvid combo and it looks just as good. ing as -lossy a video as possible is certainly what YouTube wants you to do but it seems near pointless
Xvid is better than CamStudio's mess, assuredly. CamStudio's codec is for computers that can't do high-level Xvid options well

And then there's h.264 which is even better then XviDboring wrote: 6f222

And when x264 (or MeGUI if you don't want to mess with command lines) is free there is no excuse to use XviD.
And the final size isn't too horrible either, a 2 minute 720p video could easily go to ~12Mb if you compress it right.
(Mine end up at around 60Mb though since I use ~4096kbps bitrate for some reason...)

I did mean XviD. It's great for smaller videos but I wouldn't really used it with HD stuff tbh.boring wrote: 6f222
you mean DivX, not XviD
yes, the backwards spelling was intentional, "copyleft of DivX" lol
actually XviD has for H.263, which while certainly isn't H.264, was at one point excellent for YouTube
edit: oh hey MeGUI takes XviD
DivX is quite the poo and is rarely used nowadays afaik (only seen it as a streaming codec)
And MeGUI has for Snow, x264 and XviD
I've been having a ton of random slowdown issues with my Fraps lately.
I can't seem to record anything now without the framerate dropping to like 6-8 fps at some points and screwing up the video.
At first I thought it was just that there were too many circles on the screen (I was recording streamy videos) but I did a video of JtB in the past and it went flawlessly on the first try so I don't think that's the problem.
I've tried closing everything else I have running, turning off all the graphical bonus things in osu, reducing resolution, and limiting framerate even below 30 to see if that solves anything but still nothing.
Maybe I just have to wait til I get a new computer that can handle it better. :/

For sound recording, make sure there's some recording volume, for me it was turned to zero by default. but do not turn the knob to max cause it very possibly causes distortion in sound and that sounds horrible. also stereo mix can be found on your sound driver manager. For me it's realtek and it really likes to make this distortion sound if recording is too high. Also i have to have sound settings on fraps on "Use Windows input".
What he said, I get about the same sizeRemco32 wrote: 2k514l
IIRC, I mostly ended up w/ mpegs less than 400MB or so.
I'm pretty sure you can get that filesize lower with a different container, but I have a hi-speed internet connection, so I don't bother.
sometimes around 100mb if I'm lucky, it depends on the beat map and stuff.
Very nice tutorial. I was wondering how to do this, and then stumbled upon this, so thanks!
Quick question: Let's say your computer can't handle both a full-size recording and 60 fps through FRAPS without stuttering and lag in the video.
Which option would sacrifice less quality: half-size with 60 fps or full-size w/ 30 fps?
Thanks.

Sorry, but its because xfire always desyncs, or most of the time anyway.JInxyjem wrote: 3f151a
Because I don't have Fraps nor Sony Vegas, I made a video in Xfire. However, the music desyncs after a minute of recording. Why? Are my settings wrong somewhere?
I'm recording with 30fps, Half Size of 1280x960 = 640x480.
Audio: Vista Audio, Vista Audio Mixer.
Run fraps, record the video.
VirtualDubMod
Open it, drag the video into the VirtualDubMod window.
Go to Video -> Compression -> Choose "XVid MPEG4 Codec", then press 'Configure', set Target Quantizer to about '6.81', press OK.
Go to File -> Save As..., name your video yourvideoname.avi and save it.
Also Codecs

x264 with crf around 20, 1280x720, 30fps. Rather good quality/size ratio imo.
XviD lacks some of the more advanced macroblocking features that really help with compressing stuff like osu videos.
Also protip if you want to cheat youtube with 1080p videos:
Record it at 1600x900, resize to 1920x1080, nobody will see the difference when its ed.
Then again the quality difference between 720p and 1080p is pretty minimal on youtube so why bother.

umm . im stuck at the part where you open osu! with fraps running . you said there should be a yellow number at the top right corner of osu! which you had already provided a screenshot . but for some reason my osu doesnt have a yellow or red number at the top right corner . and im using the free version which doesnt require money . i basically ed it . can anyone fix my problem for me pls ._.
You can choose whether or not the numbers appear on the corner in FRAPS. Go to FPS, and in the box that says 'Overlay Corner' you can choose which corner to have it in, or turn it off. That could be off. The thirty seconds thing is because you have the trial version. Either find/steal a registration key, or pirate it, hah.NeetOtakuHikikomori wrote: 2z2u4s
can anyone help me ? my fraps can show the fps at the top right corner of osu! now . but it can only record 30seconds and lagging when i review the 30second replay .
Also, I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, but Sony Vegas can NOT read audio from .avi files. Or well... at least 8 can't. Not so sure about nine.
It can, it just depends on the audio codec used, Anyway, Virtualdub FTW~ And Sony Vegas for professional editingOzzyOzrock wrote: 3i1y5r

At least from the fraps raw videos (where audio is 1536kbps LM)
As a more compressed format I either use Vorbis (aoTuV b5d) or MPEG-4 AAC (Nero)

x264 now has some built in audio encoding features!
Patched builds by JEEB:
http://x264.fushizen.eu/
Only needs the .exe and Quicktime to be installed (cause aac > others)
Create a .bat file to the directory where the x264.exe is with this line:
x264 --preset veryslow --level 41 --crf 20 --colormatrix bt709 --force-cfr --acodec qtaac --aquality 54 --asamplerate 44100 --acodec-quality 2 --output "PAT TO OUTPUTFILE.mp4" "PATH TO INPUT VIDEO.avi"The one I used last for example, looks like this:
Now double click the .bat and this window will pop up (first it'll index the input video, though)
After a while (depending on u power) you'll have a nice video ready for ing.
By changing the preset (available ones are ultrafast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow and placebo) you can affect the speed of the encode (slower the preset, smaller the file) and by changing the value of crf you can affect the quality of the video, thus affect filesize (0 being best quality, lossless mode, 51 being worst quality. Sane range is 16-24)

I used FRAPS and Virtualdub, from viewtopic.php?p=252802#p252802
and got this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aTaktjvzwI
Its 960x720, instead of 1280x720. Is there any large effect since I don't have a 720p option, or am I missing out something?
Oh never mind, it didn't appear because the video wasn't fully processed yet.

- Fraps

Now, go make videos and spread osu!
I tried using Windows Movie Maker to convert the video but I don't think the quality was that bad.

Make sure your speaker volume isn't low as well. I noticed that if your speaker volume is low, then the volume of the recording will be low as well.Wishy22 wrote: 4n5b5i
I got everything fine, except for the fact that when I try to look at the video recorded by Fraps using MPC, the volume is really low and it sounds like trash, I got Realtek drivers.
Well no audio now, Stereo Mix isn't muted, etc.
So, after many annoying attempts at trying to record osu! and failing, I tried to find the root of the problem.
Turns out that my aux hard drive (5400RPM) was not fast enough to write the frames that FRAPS was recording, resulting in a stuttering framerate. Once I switch to my faster 7200RPM drive, everything ran like butter.
I thought I'd share this in case anyone is encountering a similar problem.
