Thread: recording left 4 dead

first of all i don't know if it even belongs here

i want to record some gameplay from left 4 dead 1,2 i got fraps but when i record i only get sound and no gameplay is there any way to fix it
if it doesn't belong here send me an email to

ds.l4d2@gmail.com

by the way i have the same problem with xfire,zdsoft screen recorder

I wrote a guide on this a little while back, don't bother with fraps, the engine has its own way to record to video files.

i record at 50fps i got record win7 sound enabled and it's on multichannel.
i record at full size

Im assuming you have the full version because you dont have the "Records for only 30 seconds" problem. (that was me for a bit lol)

What are your sound capture settings & video capture settings for it? (open fraps and go to the movies tab)

Does L4D2 support demos? Is there anyway to convert demos from .dem to .avi? Cause demos take pretty good quality videos.

also, try stereo instead of multichannel.

my pc can run it
but i can give it a try

lowering the setting didn't work but i can record using soft screen recorder
but i can't move into to movie maker to adjust it D:
