Is there any way to record in higher than 30 fps in FRAPS?
52 replies, posted
Seriously. When I'm recording shit it goes down to 25 and below, is it something that can be fixed? Or is there a better program? It doesn't matter what settings i put it to, unless I record half-size. Then it goes smooth.
Does it really matter when normal television broadcasts aren't over ~25-30? Even if you're sitting at 30 in game and it's choppy, the video will be smooth when you play it back.
and why would you record at full size unless your monitor is small? Half of 1920x1080 is pretty much (granted, bigger, just scale it down when you render the video) 720p, which is what most HD videos and related are sized to
Record at a smaller resolution?
The only reason it's low FPS is because your PC can't handle it.
If you're recording Source games, you can always use the source recorder. A few other games have built-in recorders too.
I have an 4870, and when I playback in VLC, it chops like fuck.

Smaller resolution sounds like a good idea. I'll try it.

It chops because you're playing back a 30 fps video that's at a giant resolution. Same thing happens if I play a raw FRAPS capture from mine when the original video is 30 fps of 1920x1080 footage.

Games don't have the blur, so yes. It matters. It's easy to tell a 60fps game from a 30fps.

There's no reason to record high speed video of games, because unless they render more frames per second than you record, it won't be true slow motion anyway, just choppy ass shit.

Fraps can record at 60fps.
Fraps uses cpu and not gpu to capture video.
snip because I'm dumb

Standard definition broadcasts are 24 FPS. Playback quality has nothing to do with your graphics card, and people record at full size because they want full size? What kind of stupid argument is that?
Never said it did. I was implying during recording it would be choppy but afterwards it would be smooth (unless his FPS were already taxed in-game beforehand by a shit card, meaning it would be choppy regardless), not that the card had any impact on playback. I'll edit my post to clarify that.
and obviously he shouldn't be recording at full-size if his computer can't handle the playback of the videos (and shit like VLC struggles with it anyway where there's no GPU acceleration, so it's stupidly pointless to record in anything above 720p)
And no, half of 1920x1080 is not 1280x720, where did you get that?

My wording is improper. I wasn't meaning in mathematical amounts, just the simple fact that 720p is pretty much half the size of 1080p, albeit a little less.

Don't be stupid. Your processor handles this, not your graphics card.

That still doesn't make any sense, learn to convey your ideas or you're going to have a hard time here.

No I think you're just an idiot

Sure
you have to have a fast hard drive, and fast RAM & lots of it as far as I know. I don't have a problem getting 50+ FPS with FRAPS on my system after a hard drive upgrade

Fraps is shit, use a $3,000 full HD DVI capture card like me :smug:

By $3,000 full HD DVI capture card I mean [url=http://www.flatrox.com/buy-computer-hardware-parts/video-capture-card/radeon-hd-5870-graphics-card-3.html]this[/url].
haha what the hell?

I googled "full HD DVI capture card" and went to shopping, sorted by highest price and found it there. It's even listed under "Video & Capture Card".

Reminds me of the GTX 285 - Amazon.com fiasco.
