I remember when you had to use Fraps to record your game, and a shitty proprietary webcam software to record that, then somehow mix them together like you said.

I remember when you had to use Fraps to record your game, and a shitty proprietary webcam software to record that, then somehow mix them together like you said. Honestly mind boggling that there was not really a solid way to capture screen and webcam before OBS. It makes creating videos so much easier. OBS is honestly probably the greatest open source software out there in terms of quality and value.
- robswc 4y agoFraps was awesome lol, that iconic FPS that most people left on just to flex.
- capableweb 4y agoI don't know, it really degraded the performance of whatever you were playing compared to today's hardware solution (that comes with basically all GPUs) for recording stuff, directly from the GPU without any performance impact. I mean, it worked at the time, but so frustrating when you wanted to show off 60fps in Crysis or whatever, and the recording ended up being less than 30 fps.
- robswc 4y agolol oh yea, it wasn't "good" but at least for me at the time it was the only option I could find and if you got the settings right it was the best looking one. I was also young so there may have been better solutions out there but I could at least get FRAPs running.
