Open Broadcast Software<\/a> is free and Open Source software for\u00a0recording or streaming video. The software is available for Windows, OSX or Linux. I’ve tried to use it before to record video in Second Life and my creaking PC couldn’t handle it. The results were crashtastic.<\/p>\n

However I decided to give it a go using SL Go from OnLive<\/a> and found, well it works, to a degree at least. Now I should point out here that I have pretty much no experience whatsoever in recording video footage from Second Life, so the results are not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n

I was taking a look around A Tattered Page<\/a>, from Cursed Events, when I decided to give it a whirl. By the way A Tattered Page is an interesting event, currently on round three with a theme of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, it combines literature with Second Life events and is therefore very worthy.<\/p>\n

Now what I did here is pretty raw, I’ve engaged in no editing and just dumped the footage to a file.<\/p>\n

If you are serious about video in Second Life, then you should definitely look at the Machinima page on the wiki<\/a>. There are tons of tips there. One of the things you’ll soon realise is that if you want to make good Machinima you need good equipment, good software and a clue about film making. However if you just want to capture some quick moments, then Open Broadcast Software may be for you.<\/p>\n
