View Full Version : Possible to record java?

I was wondering if it's possible to record webcam shows that use java. Not like the crappy slow ones either, the WMV-quality java webcams. If they were displayed in WMP it'd be a hell of a lot easier, but they are encoded in java, and it doesn't let you right click on the video. I tried a screen recording program (a crummy free one off download.com), but when I tried to record it it just showed up as all black or really, really choppy.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

You might try something like FRAPS, but the trial (i never have bothered looking for a key cause it's not effective at higher resolutions for me) only lets you record 30 seconds at a time. might be pretty solid for a camshow though

well that, mi amigo, would be one of those windows applications designed for recording your monitor display :)

actually seeing as macs are regarded as superior a/v machines, I bet there's plenty of solid screen capture / recording software available. having a nice video card geared toward capturing would help too, or at least a powerful one I guess

I meant the cam-show pics full screen . if only I could find the source, i got an idea , I posted 1 of my home-made on the web vids before , Screen action studio is great , only make's QT .movs though.........:004:

Thanks for the help, I'll keep searching though. In the meantime, I have some kinda brute-force rips of some private webcam streams uploaded here soon. I'll get some preview pics made and upload the first vid, they came out pretty freakin huge (100mb+ each, easily), and the picture quality is alright. It's not seamless though, it stutters every now and then. Hopefully I'll get a better program for this though, so I can start recording some new ones.
