    When I record video in BF3 the resulting video file comes up blank (all black screen) with a cursor in the center when I go to view it. How do I fix this? Any help is much appreciated. :cheers:

    Have sorted this out. It was the frame size, I set it from 1/2 frame to full frame and that fixed it.

    Have you tried using all default settings but just change to full frame. Also make sure you have the latest beta of Afterburner and latest video drivers. Also add BF3.exe or the .exe of whatever game you are playing to the on-screen display server. Here's a pic of my settings.

    Black screen is a result of installing some third party MJPG codec instead of Windows built-in one. Some third party MJPG codecs are unable to decode videos if width or height is not multiple to 16. Sort codecs on your system.

    Doning so is a complete no go. You cannot record desktop and expect it to record fullscreen 3D properly.

    K-lite codec pack is what I use, which is very popular. Its the only codec related install I have on my system other than built in windows codecs. I use VLC media player also. I'm wondering if this should be looked into at some point? As most people have codecs installed on their system other than the built in windows ones. :eyes:

    There are no problems with bf3 and no fixes on the way, there are dozens of bf3 movies on youtube captured with Afterburner. Learn to configure the application.

    Well with those settings I showed for recording in-game I have no probs with BF3, also you should add BF3.exe app profile. As Unwinder says its in the settings.

    It is definitively the king for those who is unable to configure Afterburner. Good luck with that ;)

    The reason it is not working is between your chair and keyboard. I'm coding Afterburner for people having minimal set of knowledge and reading skills. You're definitively not my user as I'm just a forum troll anyway, bye.
