Some good advice is being posted on Doom9 about creating 120fps videos:

Two another solutions for recording 1080p120:

1.Building a fast System with raid0 SSD’s and a video capture card that can record 120fps@FullHD. (costs for capture card = 1600$ )(http://www.videowallsolutions.net/xtremedvi-duallink-pcie-input-up-to-4kx4k-video-capture-card.html)
Nvidia’s FCAT-System for frame rate analyzing use the same capture card.

2. Slow down the gamespeed with cheatengine, play in slowmotion, recording with 60fps or 30fps and finally speed up the recorded video. Easy;)

High quality video worked great in MPC.

What program was used to capture this? I can capture at 120hz in FRAPS but only at half resolution.

Here’s the info:

1. Recording:
For 1920x1080p at 120fps, you need SSD RAID 0 or a RAM drive. About 1 gigabyte/second is required, including overhead room. A pair of 128GB SSD’s capable of >500MBytes/sec can be had for under $200. Alternatively, a computer with 16GB RAM can easily give you a 12GB RAM drive (as a temporary drive letter). 12 gigabytes records about 20 seconds of 1080p gameplay at 120fps.

2. Processing:
Hypermatrix says: “Encoded using Handbrake and x264 codec. The 100mb file was at 30mbps, constant framerate, “slow” encoding speed, h264 profile set to “high” and level set to 5.1. For the second file which comes in at around 30MB, it was at 10mbps, constant framerate, “placebo” encoding speed, double pass, h264 profile at “Main” and h264 level 4.0.”

Btw, he’s my test of 120fps capture at half res (5 mins):

(note it’s actually an .mp4 file not avi)

Good one with full-framerate fluidity!

If you can, try to make MP4 files next time — those are compatible with players built into web browsers. Chrome, IE, and FireFox are able to play MP4 files directly inside the web browser, and also in a streaming manner too.

It was actually an mp4 file named incorrectly. Here it is renamed:

Plays great in Chrome at full 120fps!

I see. Handbrake is the key here. In my case FRAPs isn’t limited by HDD write speed but by the CPU. It seems to parallellize poorly and doesn’t use all available CPU cores. With x264 you can spawn as many threads as you want and it will use all of them.

I just watched it, and it was amazing, I’ve never seen such fluid motion in video form on a browser!

Looks amazing, excellent fluidity and smoothness; good job md! :thumb:

Sweet Jeebus, this looks incredible.

Great work as always Mark. That video looks wonderfully smooth! Death to 60 Hz!
