Title: [Fraps] - laggy recording?
Post by: Fatboy_Rob on February 11, 2008, 06:01:08 am: Well, in Call of Duty 4 online, im running about 80-90 FPS.

When i record, i start lagging, i have it set to 50 FPS, idk why it does it...
on Battlefield 2 i can record perfectly fine.

Is it because AA is set to max?

Try to use a lower resolution, and set to half-size in FRAPS... the framerate should improve. Btw, AA won't be even noticed when you'll compress the video, so you can turn it off anyways.

can be, already tried out wiht NO AA?

And, have you already setted the FPS to 29,97? Try it out. I've done a lot of movie in SA, and it was laggy, because the FPS number was too high

And when it was off i lowered the resolution, nothing :(

But yea, let me try that now

EDIT: Tried it and still.

That's funny, saving an uncompressed avi takes a sh*tload of less processor power than packing it. Get the figure? Compression = Calculation = Processor power

Post by: PMP on February 13, 2008, 06:06:20 pm: I'm having a similar problem.
When I record videos with the mic as recording device, there no lag at all.
When I use stereo mix it lags as hell.
And I want to record them in 15fps and I can't. It always types 29.97 back on the box. :neutral:

Yea youre right... about the processor usage i meant the recording itself, not compression.. i have no idea why i wrote that it saves uncompressed, now i see that it doesnt make real sense :redface:

Post by: DougR on February 13, 2008, 09:13:10 pm: Back to the subject matter, you should keep the Fraps recording FPS as 25/30: higher ones might cause slow-as-hell recording. Also try updating to a newer version of Fraps: it's helped me in the past.

You might also want to try other recording programs (like GameCam).
