    Im trying to make a video of my cod4 skills. Whenever I try to use fraps, it crashes. I havnt installed any patches yet, and i launch cod from steam. Im running vista ultimate ( no sp1 yet). Why won't fraps work? Thanks

    I'm thinking Vista probably does not like FRAPS capturing the video buffer...

    Well if your playing the PC version of the game:

    type "/record" (without quotes) into the console. (make sure console Enabled)

    download cod4player (to watch your demos).

    http://www.cybopat.net/vb_cod4player_eng.php

    This is the prefered way ALL of the LEagues my clan is apart wants us too record. Its also the easiest and fastest.

    Wow, I didn't think there was anything like that. Thanks! I'll try it out later today and post my results
    Also, has anyone tested this on vista? because it says on the website it was only tested w/ XP. and are there any other console commands i should know about? thanks :cool:

    I havnt been able to find any servers that work for this. When I say:/record nothing happens. Am I typing it in the right place? And can anyone give me a list of servers that this works on? thanks
