I'm working on recording some video game footage for a "Let's Play" of a game (if you have somethingawful.com forums accounts, it's the No One Lives Forever VLP).
What settings should I use to try to get the best recording possible? Especially since I might have to start the recording before entering the game (and having it maybe switch monitor modes).
PS - if any developers are reading, a "no interface" movie taking option (similar to FRAPS for the PC) would be lovely.
