5 clients at once?

Alright, I got it to work. Here's a video as a demonstration. Sorry I didn't edit it down in length and content, it's very very cumbersome to work with in vegas (video preview is really realllllly choppy).

What you see on the left is my left monitor, and the right is my right monitor. I'm running 2560x1024 (that's 1280x1024 x2) via horizontal span. My specs: E2180 Dual Core (1.8GHZ OC'd to 3.2GHz), 4gigs DDR800 (soft limited to 3gigs), 8800GT 256mb PCI-E x16, typical 500gig 7200rpm SATA western digital hard drive. I have the 4 small wow's limited to 15 fps, and my main one limited to 80fps. Quality settings and sound off on the small wow's, and quality completely full with sound on the main wow.

Here's what I used - http://camstudio.org/.
I set the region to full screen, I set the recording thread priority to Above Normal and i changed all the keybindings as they were interfering with my F1-F12 keys in WoW. I set the video codec to divx and set that to resize to 1280x512. I was able to record with other codecs, but divx was the only one i have installed that will resize for me while recording. I set the quality settings all the way up, but I get the feeling it's being limited because I don't have the full divx.


I'll work on getting better quality out of it, but as you can see by my specs I'm running about a $1k gaming machine. No big deal. Hope that helps shed some light on the possibility, Buglit. This was fun to figure out, thanks for bringing it up. I'll probably play with it some more now.

Oh and the music in the video is Yelle - Ce Jeu.

Had a couple people ask.

That is just perfect! Great job! I have the five orc shaman setup to. I can't wait to test this on my computer. I'm thinking about trimming down my windows install and giving this a shot.


Awesome!

Some people asked if I could upload it to Youtube, and I explained how the video is double-wide in dimension so it would come out pretty hard to watch when fit into the letterbox of a Youtube player. I uploaded it to Youtube anyhow cuz I was bored at work, so here's what it ends up looking like:

What are the keybindings and macro you use for your /\ pattern spread?

What are the keybindings and macro you use for your /\ pattern spread?

2 of my clients have a keybinding to "strafe left" when I press Control-1, and the other 2 have a keybinding to "strafe right" when I press Control-1.
Also, 1 of those clients that went left, and one of them that went right, have a keybinding to "walk forward" when I press Control-2.

When I press Control-1 and Control-2 at the same time, I get that spread formation.

Please see my new post - I've made a how-to video on doing this.
