Small sh4 video recording tip

Very nice! I still use Audacity. I use FRAPS to record the game soundtrack and Audacity for my voice. Usually I'll have a pointer gesture to synch with the sound. Any screen recording out of the game I've been using Cam Studio. The quality of Cam Studio has been stunning. Since FRAPS insists in splitting my video into 4 GB slices I use VirtualDub to glue them back together without so much as a pop or flash--it's as if they were always one.

And I've been using Microsoft Movie Maker to meld voice track with video/game sound. Gives me total control over volumes and a nice compressed vid without a lot of loss of quality.

Try using MSI Afterburner, its free and you can set this to record two separate audio tracks e.g. game audio and your voice. This works like FRAPS (one hit record, one hit stop) but as I've said, it records your voice separately from the game, so no need to worry about syncing. There's also an option where it balances out the volume of your voice and the game's audio.

Just one thing, MSI afterburner looks daunting to setup but it's not.

I use MSI Afterburner as well. It has video capture and screen capture that work well in any game.
