The only program I could find was Snapz Pro X2, and the $70 price tag is prohibitive.
Q u o t e:
If the video capture is built in, could there possibly be a way to add a feature where you can record with your ui on, but the end result hides the ui? this would improve the quality of pvp videos in some instances, although i guess sometimes it's nice to see the button setups and such.
Q u o t e:
Can you show the UI?
Q u o t e:
All I can really think to suggest at the moment is support for more codecs -- is there any reason it can't support any codec currently available on the system's Quicktime install? (I mean, the default codec works great -- but people may want to use another for one reason or another.)
Q u o t e:
I'm curious as to why the dev team thought it was a prudent position to take in the first place. That you should offer the majority of your customers a $37 solution (you cited FRAPS specifically) while you're providing that same service for free for Mac users.
Q u o t e:
I would really like to see the Apple Intermediate Codec added. It is probably a more appropriate codec than Pixlet for most users, especially if you add support for real time compression on highend systems.
On a side note, is the video capture clamping the framerate a limitation of the current build, or a design decision based in part on the features use internally (ie, a desire to capture every rendered frame). On my system (Mac Pro, multiple hard disks, and a 30 inch display) it leaves me in the position of either striping several of my drives together to keep the data rate high enough, recording at 1/4 resolution, or dropping my frame rate from 100+ down to 15-30. I would like like to set the capture rate to 15 or 30 fps, and keep the frame rate capped at around something over 60.
While ideally I would like to separate those, knowing what the intent is sufficient to allow me to know if I need to repartition and stripe out my drives.
Q u o t e:
I mean seriously macs got dual core support again if I remember correctly, almost a year ago.
