Video Recording Questions

[bmeister1]

I am am using fraps to record my screen play. I use a resolution of 5760x1080. I want to know how I can make the video 1920X1080. I do not want to reduce my screen resolution when I play games. I use handbrake to convert the file to mp4. I noticed that handbrake has a cropping option. Dose anybody know what it is needed to crop the video from 5760x1080 to 1920x1080. Is this possible at all or not. I know the simple thing is to play at 1920x1080. Any ideas

Cropping or Scaling? There's a diff...

i think it is cropping. Thanks digger, the link was very helpful. This image is what I dug up. Might give it a try.

can anyone help me with getting a good video recorder to work. Fraps crashes the games when it loads and when I close the program, the game works fine. Can anyone help me get dxtory to work. I am having issues where in dxtory, the video lags during playback. Any one know of a better program.

Only experience I have is with fraps, which seemed to me pretty solid.

Digger,
For some reason when I try to install the program I get a error message that says file corrupt please re download and install. I have tried multiple times and same result.

oh and 5760 x 1080?!? triple monitor landscape?

yea, that setting LOOKS about right to lop off the left and right screens... can't say for sure unless you try it. Try to run a basic 30 second demo of you messing around in windows or something and then process it.
