Simcity 4 test recording
This is a simple test of recording Sim City 4 in full 1680 x 1050 widescreen using Fraps for recording and processing in VirtualDub using the ffdshow video codec.
For one thing, I'm running Sim City 4 in full screen at a custom resolution of 1680x1050 and using Fraps to record my entire screen. This records raw video which needs to be processed before it becomes usable. Load the raw video into VirtualDub, appending each segment as needed, and change the video compression to ffdshow. Configure ffdshow for H.264, which should give a very nice quality to file size ratio. An 11 minute video should be somewhere from 180-200MB in size. This video was 4 minutes long and just a little over 80MB.
Additionally, this is my first video in HD! Yay!
Note that this is not any good way to build a city. Never build cities like these. For actual useful videos on how to build cities, check out madmenyo's videos:
