Frontcam

[Nima]

ok, wtf... I tried to use frontcam to record some stuff...
A) It lags LIKE A BITCH... it just screws you over, even if you have a 1337 comp. But ok, even with that problem you can still get a decent score.... But here comes the other problem.
B) THE FILE WAS 1.3 GIGS AND IT WAS ONLY A FEW MINUTES LONG! (1 stepfile)

Is there anyway to make this bitch of a file smaller?

You were probably recording at some obscene number of frames per second. Drop it down to 15 or so.

I can record 24 fps with 0 lag. Don't know what everyone else's problem is.

i said, screw the lag... it is a bit of a problem but still playable....

the main problem is the 1.3gig file, what do you mean virtually dub it?

[altairian]

I'm guessing it's a video editor?

oh yeah, and 1.3 gigs is pretty ridiculous. My 3+ min files were still less than 100 megs. You should probably check the config...

You can Compress it with .zip or .rar and it gets ALOT smaller.

Virtualdub is awesome. Get it. Now.

I think I may have found an explanation for your massive file size Nima. In the video options, make sure you have some sort of compression selected. When I turned compression off and recorded Contradistinction (<2 min song) the file size was 1.39 gig.
