FRAPS videos are ear-fuckingly loud
 

And yet the voiceover I record is about half the volume, and Windows Volume Control is not helping at all.

I even turned the volume down in game and it played at maximum.

reduce the volume in windows movie maker for the audio you rip in game.

Fraps is also recording the voiceover I'm supposed to be doing, but it makes it about a quarter to half the volume.

Reducing the volume in WMM would reduce that too.

Could you do the voice over afterwards while watching the video you've recorded? FRAPS tends to be a little bitch. >.>

I'll edit this post from the office once I talk to the tech guy about FRAPS and funny sound recordings, he knows more then I do.

I'm waiting.

Anyone else?

From Work:

"FRAPS sucks for recording both game and Voiceovers, but if he's dead set on it, his best bet is to set the system volume and Microphone volume to max and speak clearly into the system. FRAPS records audio from the game- it's not meant to record quieter, or else it would be useless to testers and game video makers. However, if he's playing through a TV card in his computer on an Xbox360, he can set Windows Movie Maker to Capture the Game video/audio, and record his voice over seperately."

He recommended "xfire.com" for what you're doing. I'd give it a look.

Or, record your commentary through a different program and combine the two into one movie file.

Like was originally reccomended. :P

Originally you recommended reducing the volume. Then you suggested recording the commentary after the video.

I was talking about simultaneously recording the commentary. So no, new recommendation for this thread. Besides, a different person reiterating a suggestion helps to strengthen it anyway.

Seriously, if this program is giving you this much grief over something that is easily circumvented, then circumvent it.

He originally recommended it over MSN, which is why he said 'as previously recommended'.

And the reason I'm not recording video and recording sound and merging is because running a single extra software over Mirror's Edge lags it enough, since it's a pretty graphically intense game.
