Player Movies

[Stun Grenade]

I've always wanted to see or watch other players play X-COM (mainly you pros out there on the boards). Is there software out there that would allow to capture, say.. 5min of X-COM gameplay and save it in a movie format for us to watch?

 

Reading tactics isn't the same as watching them IMHO.

Have you tried Fraps or a similar piece of software?, haven't actually tried it.

I've recorded a lot of Freespace and Freespace 2 using using FRAPS so can vouch for the software. Should work on UFo EU as well since the res is about 640*480 (Shareware Version of FRAPS here )

 

Would love to see some gameplay vids too

The free version of Fraps only lets you capture 30 seconds of video... And for the record, UFO: EU is only 320x200 resolution

I managed to record the whole FMV sequences from Freespace. I think the older versions may have allowed longer recording

I have a few recordings via a connection to my tv and DVD. That's how I record most of 'my material' since it doesn't put any extra pressure on my comp. No fancy clips though, just a sort of "This is X-Com". Used it during class last year =)
