I've heard people use FRAPS to capture video footage from games. I have never captured anything before (except one time from video card into digi video camera) so I have no clear idea of whats required.
What is the best software for video capturing?
How much hard drive space do I need to capture lets say 5-10 minutes of footage?
Is there on the fly compression on the capture software, or is it raw AVI what they save?
What resolution is the captured footage (does it depend on the resolution of the game at moment of capture)?
Do the capture softwares cause huge slowdowns while capturing, do I need to fiddle with the game I'm capturing (like slow it down)?
Anything else a total video capture newbie should know before getting started?
Thanks
