• Fraps keeps splitting my videos
    37 replies, posted
Yesterday I did a long video evolving a massive melee only fight in Team fortress 2 The video is about 7 minutes long, and then I found the video, it was just split up in parts of 1 minut Thats fucking annoying How do I fix that? And yes, I have the full version of fraps
I also seem to have this problem, each part is about 1:30
To be more precise is each file just under or exactly 4GB?
It's probably to keep fraps compatible with FAT formatted drives.
But can't they just add the option to disable it?
FAT has a limit of 4GB file sizes, you can't go over.
It's so that people with FAT/32 drives won't have to do with the files going over the 4GB limit. I don't think there's anyway to prevent it from happening, so you're just going to have to combine them in a video editing program.
The issue itself lies with the avi library that FRAPS uses, but in turn, I imagine that arbitary number was a result of people having FAT32 and files bigger than 4GB weren't possible.

Well, can you recommend a free video program to dixie chain all the videos into one? ninja
[QUOTE=Eddie;24012311]Well, can you recommend a free video program to dixie chain all the videos into one?[/QUOTE] Read the post above you.
Set it not to split your videos, and save the videos to an NTFS partition, not FAT16/FAT32.
How do you set it so it doesn't split it. I have tried multiple things and they havn't worked
What a massive bump. Start using a proper recorder like DXTory.
hah, FRAPS. I remember that old thing.
FRAPS now has a selectable option to let it not split your video files up.
It also has a selectable option to uninstall

Took Beepa like 25 years to update to a format from like windows 98. Inexcusable.
I've abandoned Fraps for DxTory or Mirillis's Action!. Although Action! requires Aero theme to be enabled, it does actually provide great encoding features and no ingame fps loss. For Dxtory, check out this random video explaining [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFPqiFGeyVs"]how to properly encode and what codecs to use, etc[/URL].

I still use FRAPS for its benchmarking tools. It's a free program and does exactly what I want for that purpose so I keep it around.

I downloaded the trial and I'm impressed by it. Does anyone know if it would trigger a VAC ban if the software is used with Valve games? It hooks into the game afterall...

Whoo hoo, we had some guy bump the thread to ask a dumb question. Can we let it die now?

It means that it detects hacks based on signatures for injected modules, not bans you for any third party modules hooked onto the game.

Edit: It looks like you need a $45 license to use the software, am I right? I'm gonna have to be sold on this then. I don't want to find out it isn't for me. Could anyone answer my previous question?
