<p>Heya</p><p>What is the best way to record live game play?</p><p>is there any software I can get somewhere to record my game play?</p><p>do you have any tips for improving quality of videos and uploading and file compression?</p><p>looking for any advice and recommendations for recording live game play</p>

<p>If you press Alt+F9 when in game a small video recording window will open. If you press the Red button it will start recording. These files are very large. After you stop recording it will ask you for YouTube info. You can skip this. You will have a video file in your EQ2 folder. If you record again that file will be overwritten. So if you want to make multiple videos you'll have to move each file after recording. The quality of this, for me, is not good.</p><p>You can download FRAPS for free. You'll be limited to 30 seconds of video at at time. Buy the full program to remove that restriction.</p><p>I use Windows Movie Maker to edit and compress videos.</p>

<p>Thx for reply</p><p>How do I take a bunch of mini movies and put them together as one movie?</p>

<p>You can use the ingame record to record the movies you want then windows movie maker to compress them, join them together using transitions, titles and other effects.</p><p>FWIW the in game recorder works pretty good as Gravy stated the files are quite large because they did not use compression but the record and upload to youtube feature worked flawlessly for me each time I used it.</p>

<p>It is part of the Windows Live Essentials package.</p><p>I have never used it, I use Adobe Premiere but I doubt you are wanting to shell out several hundred $ for this...</p><p>Windows Movie Maker should suit your needs though.</p>
