Hi. I am wondering if anyone knows of good software that will record the game window and not take up a ton of space. I got soem crappy program that records to avi and it is like 50mb for less than a minute. Any Ideas would be much appreciated, thank you.

Don't record to a video file, it'll just take a lot of space. I suggest first recording the steps taken through P2P's record function, or the record function on one of the P2P clients that support Kaillera [older version, dunno where to find it, Nixxon just gave me his copy]. Once the steps are recorded, you view it, and use a program. Apparently, Mupen does it automatically, but Boom once recommended this for PJ64k.

Even if you knew the first part, I put it just in case. :p

To record without huge lag, any video capture device is going to make large videos. This is because compressing video takes time and CPU power, so you get the uncompressed video file and that's why it's so huge. It's up to you to throw into even something simple as windows movie maker to compress it to a smaller size.

Mupen
or
PJ64k/p2p client playback/screen recorder
or
PJ64k/screen recorder

Also experiment with different video compressors. I managed to get some 4-6 minute avi videos around 50-90 mb

BHLMRO has a good guide to recording vids on Mupen somewhere...
Lol I doubt he wants my guide. My guide teaches you how to upload top notch quality videos which are usually 100-200 mb's when you're done. This guy seems to want little space as possible XD

again, run then through movie maker, you can keep the quality and cut the size by at least 3/4
