I might be wrong but I think you have to pay for it

1. yes, fraps needs to be running before you start the game.

The default key for recording is F9.

2. If you want to edit the video, you need to use video editing software. "Windows Movie Maker" is a simple, easy to use software that allows you to edit your videos, and is included free with XP.

The videos you record are saved to the location

C:\Fraps

3. I think there is a free version, the only draw back from this, is that it only records 30 seconds of footage at a time.

http://www.fraps.com/download.php <- free version

If you wish to do things legally.

You can download fraps for free and use it, only problem is that you can only record for 30 seconds at a time and you'll get "fraps.com" on top of all your recordings.

Then to edit you can use Windows Movie Maker (oh the joy) which I believe comes installed with every XP computer. Go Start-> All Programs and it should be in there, if not I'm sure it is available for free download, use google.

If your school or work place has an extended license for either Sony Vegas 7.0 or Premiere Pro then get one of them like I did as they are far far superior to Movie Maker (though they will take longer to get to grips with)

If you wish to do things illegally then I can offer no help other than.

*cough* bittorrent *cough*

ive recorded a part of bf2 and then opened it in windows movie maker like you said but it says

"an error occurred while opening this file. either the selected file is not a windows movie maker project file or the project file is corrupted"

the thing is that it works (with a little lag) on mindows media player.

any segestions?

A project file is the whole of the project that you are making.

To import images/ videos etc, you need to click file, then import into collection

you know what? i think ill just give up, it seems like the only way ill get some use out of it is to register it, and im not doing that. ill just play the game and watch the videos people make. lol that way i wont steal peoples thunder with my amazing editing skills *cough**fart**sneeze* lol

thanks for the help anyway

I'll PM you something.

I will however say that once you have made your video I will execute a kitten for every second I find boring.

Try using the battle recorder and then using fraps to convert it to a movie file.
