I always get a bad resolution when recording my Game Maker games using Fraps...

I did a search and found that Deeman said this:

What does he mean by this?

If the view fills the screen fills up (like full screen, but in windowed mode(for example the beta of AoDD's final boss)).
The room size in that example is 2000X1009.

So basically, you need a really huge view that would equate to a full screen?

Yes.

Didn't work, it just made the playing area look really tiny...

pic pl0x

I set the "view in room" and "port on screen" to ten times of what they were...

well that wont work
the level space should be the size, as the veiws zoom.

So you want the room size to be the size of the view...?

forget about veiws entirely for this.
put it back to normal and change the room size.
also it helps if the room uses that new space (make the sprites larger and fix level)

Never mind, this is not worth modifying the entire game for...

yeah i just tested it and it failed
you can also try cropping the video so that the unused space isnt there.
Youtube seems to automatically change the resolution of the videos
