hypercam

[myakka]

i want to be able to use hypercam with algodoo. but every time i use it, it just flashes a pictur of the scene and is over in a quarter of a second. can anyone help me use this?

the problem with screen recorders is that some work better on different hardware.

i suggest setting hypercam to defaults or trying an alternative such as camstudio.

Fun fact: This is the Algodoo forums, not the Hypercam forums.

This topic explains a method that, I think, is better than Hypercam.

This method records whatever is on your screen, but not the lag. You could make a scene that spawns a bunch of circles so it does not lag at first, but then the lag increases, and the output shows no lag at all.

Then again, I have not found a good way to turn a bunch of PNGs into one MPEG.

I think WMM can do that. Just make a slideshow of pictures and tune the speed.

I seem to recall that very topic saying that Windows Movie Maker (if that's what you're talking about) does not like to make slideshows that go at 100 fps.

Reading back through the topic, I realize that this is correct. Also, I would use system.regularScreenshots = 3, so it records every third frame, so color-changing alt-colliders would actually alternate.
