I have a project I wish to record for YouTube (in accordance with Zion's YouTube policy) but other than my camcorder I have no way of making the video. Could somebody with recording software come and film my project in Haza's map? It would be greatly appreciated as I am not allowed to download the software myself.

Try Livestream Procaster. Although it streams live to your channel, you can also save the recording to your computer in a relatively good quality mpeg4 file. This allows you to throw it into video editing suites to edit as you see fit.

Otherwise, I can see when we're both available, and I could do the recording with either Fraps, or Livestream.

I have no way to link my camera up to it. We'll just have to see when you're on Zion.

_________________

What Camera?

Vivitar DVR 650 handheld camcorder.

use a screen recorder not a real camera

Livestream records your screen as well as any connected camera your system recognises.

Livestream is the best option for you. Just remember to set it to record to your computer.

Ok

So I've got my account set up, and I downloaded Procaster. How do I use it? And yes, I'm a noob.

_________________

Launch Livestream Procaster from your start menu. If it asks if you want to change your Windows 7 style, select 'Always'.

You'll be greeted with the following screen after logging in:


Click the Prefrences button in the lower right.

In the new windows, go to the Desktop tab, and disable mouse highlighting or the cursor altogether, depending on your effect. (In the WoM client, your mouse will always appear in the middle when recording, and will jitter around when you move it. Hiding your mouse fixes this).

Also, check the box saying 'Save video to file (My Videos folder)', as this will put a compressed MP4 in your MyVideos folder, which is what you want.



After setting all of these, click "Save" and then hit the big red button in the middle saying "Go Live".



When recording, you'll see a bar at the bottom of your screen with statistics, and a small preview window, and green lines around your screen. These lines are the recording area, you can move them to fit around a window you want to record, rather than everything. Fit these lines around the WoM client window, rather than resize the WoM client window because it will slow your machine down.

Do what needs to be done, then hit the red "Stop" button in the bottom bar. Wait until your video has stopped recording and you may be asked to name your video. This is for the online service, if you want other people to view your stream, give it a name and click upload (or whatever button) otherwise, just click the 'Delete Video' button to not send it to Livestream.com. Your video will still be saved in your folder. You should now be able to see your video in your MyVideos folder.

Alright thank you. I'll try and make the video either tomorrow or the day after.
