Installing a codec for movie recording

For best results we recommend installing a good codec which will allow you to record good quality movies.

  • The Lagarith video codec is a free lossless codec with excellent performance. It does produce quite large files though so you may need to convert it to another format before sharing/uploading. You can find this codec here http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
  • Install and use the X264 VFW video codec. It is fairly fast and produces videos of a very small file size. If you’re recording at a high resolution though you’ll need a very fast CPU for this codec. You can find this codec here http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

If a specified codec cannot be found, a warning is generated and uncompressed video will be produced. For best performance create a build and do your captures from the build running in full­screen mode.

Once you have the codec installed, you can select the codec from the Character Customizer by going to Options->Codec in the menu. Your movies will now be recorded using this codec.

Recording in-game audio and microphone audio at the same time

Currently this plugin only supports recording audio from a single Windows audio device. There is a “trick” you can use though. In Windows 7 (and perhaps Vista) you may be able to set your microphone to play through the speakers by going to: Control Panel ­> Sound ­> Recording ­> Select your microphone ­> right click ­>Properties ­> Listen ­> check "Listen to this device". You should then hear your microphone recording through your speakers. It’s recommended to use headphones during recording to prevent feedback from the speakers into the microphone.

In order for you to be able to see the 'Listen to this device' option, please make sure that you have installed the correct drivers for your soundcard.
