How do you record Warcraft II?

[Abelhawk]

Hey, me again. I was hoping to include some Warcraft 2 footage on my next video and I realized that FRAPS doesn't work with Warcraft 2 BNet edition. Any workarounds that anyone knows about?

Hypercam should work.

It took some finagling, but it worked. Thanks for the tip!

Reason why it did not work is that WC2 is probably not hardware accelerated. Most efficient video capture programs intercept the output from hardware accelerated graphics (what a game submits to be displayed) for better performance and often do some video processing on the GPU. If the CPU submits the graphics to be displayed they might not see it as anything capture-able and it may bypass any form of acceleration. To capture video like that I would imagine a different API is required, possibly one which reads from display buffers rather than intercepting what gets submitted.
