Video capturing (Discussion)

There's plenty of reasons people want to capture video, as opposed to just screenshots. For example: instructional videos (how to farm; how to death level a pet; how to use a particular GvG tactic); trophy videos (yes, I really did max my zaishen title); machinima; and just wanting to show off things you think look good.

Currently, the tech-savvy use various programs to capture video, but ANet would be doing all its players a great service if it allowed "record the next 5 minutes" as a in-game feature, that simply saved a mpeg to a /guild wars/video folder on your hard disk.


Why this is a good idea
  • Useful feature for a variety of reasons.
  • Adds to fun of game.
  • Builds GW community.
Why it may not work out
  • Too difficult to program?
  • Fraps says hi?
  • GameCam says hi?
