Moving this to its own thread. Original conversation started here. This discussion is centered on finding the best way to prove clean play in CoD4, but please feel free to chime in on other games as well. Here's where we started, in a nutshell:
What's the most foolproof way to show that you are a clean player? Fraps? In-game recordings (for games with this feature)? Something else? A combination?
....Videos, carry no weight as they can be edited. They may carry name int he community, however, are not weightable globally. For that, we need demos and server logs.
....Do you really think it would be feasible to edit cheats out of videos? This one, for example?....
....to the best of my knowledge, Fraps captures every pixel of everything on the screen. Recorded demos do not. Looking at the file sizes of recorded demos, they must simply record all in-game actions (player actions, movements, etc.) textually. But what about things that are not "in-game," e.g. external wall hack cheat software which I would guess uses an overlay to show the positions of other players? Would recorded demos capture that?
It's an honest question. Do you really think Fraps is more easily fooled than recorded demos?
When we watch demos, we have special configs that we run. Removes a lot of stuff, lets us see what we need to see. I agree Fraps captures what the user sees, but editing is still a possibility..which means...data could be contaminated.
