Myth of Echelon Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hey guyse. I'm trying to get HyperCam 3 to work so that I can record the process of graphic production within the programs I use, in HD. I've been messing with settings but having no luck getting a good framerate and/or quality video. Even with settings like 720p 40fps the recording still comes out laggy/choppy, and I don't think it's my PCs hardware causing the problem as I can render 720p HD videos in Sony Vegas Pro and record 720p HD from my capture card at the same time, easily. Best I've gotten so far is by using a 720p HD DivX template but no entire luck there. I need settings to create a recording in 720p HD with a framerate fast enough to smoothly record vector drawings, which I have had no luck in so far. File size is not an issue. Any suggestions? Quote
Shaunno Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 What is your PC's specs mate, recording is a fair bit more intense than rendering, in my experience anyway. Quote
Myth of Echelon Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 But recording in real-time from an external 720p capture card is nearly the same as recording what's on the screen right? Specs are: 2.51GHz Dual-core processor, 2.93GB RAM, nVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 400 (I have a Palit SONIC PLATINUM nVIDIA GTX 460 Geforce 1GB waiting to be installed into my motherboard) Quote
Thrill Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 How much free memory do you have when you're rendering and recording? Remember you're recording and rendering at the same time, which are both hard drive and in general very intensive processes Quote
Myth of Echelon Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 My page file is only half, but my CPU is 100%. But even so, capturing from a capture card is also recording, rendering and gives a real time preview :S Quote
Scotteh Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 My page file is only half, but my CPU is 100%. But even so, capturing from a capture card is also recording, rendering and gives a real time preview :S I used Sony Vegas 9.0 Pro, and it lagged for me, I have 4 Gb RAM also, I think a memory upgrade will be beneficial to you, and probably a CPU upgrade, but they're more expensive, Quote
Myth of Echelon Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Kinda out of the question as I only had it upgraded a few monthes ago :/ The original file lags/pixelates though, no the Vegas Pro render. :S Quote

Shaunno Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 The preview in vegas will be choppy as its rendering each frame individually, unless you have a fairly powerful PC that renders it at above 25fps it will look choppy. Quote
Myth of Echelon Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 My preview only ever lags if I run another HD video at the same time. But the render was laggy, not the preview Quote
