[Guide] How-To Record Fullscreen Multiboxing

[Majo]

Hi Guys,

I just posted a new movie on WarcraftMovies.com:
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=72985
(Just watch the Vimeo stream or DL from Filefront. The other streams butcher its dimensions.)

This movie came about after Bugilt posted a question on recording 5 clients at once (5 clients at once?) and I started playing around with some ideas on how to do it. I posted a small demo recording for everyone to see what it looks like, but I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the video. After playing around with it, I found the settings that worked best for quality and fps for me. Thanks again to Bugilt for bringing up the question -- now that I've figured this out, I'm pretty sure I'll record all my future movies this way (it's pretty fun to watch).

Anyhoo, rather than post a write-up on how I did it, I just thought I'd make a movie of it to demonstrate. Hope it helps!

I'm gonna test this out on my new system.

Why is it that in my playback it is slower the what it is recording at? I get perfect frames while recording but when i go to watch it it is like 20-25 frames.

When I try to use the DivX codec it gives me an error recording AVI file using current compressor and asks if I want to use the default compressor. I also have no option for unrestrained certification profile using the DivX codec. Not sure if any others are having this issue or not.

I'm having some trouble, I followed the directions in the video but I can only get it to record monitor 1. How do you get it to record from 2 monitors?
My setup: 8800 GTX with 2 DVI out going to 2 22" monitors. Monitor 1 is full screen for wow, monitor 2 is broken into 4 sections.
