What it is.

Quick question, how well does FRAPS work with H2V for you guys? I know when i have about 60fps or higher and press record, it always goes down to like 16-20fps. I have it set at half-res and 30fps for recording settings. Also, would GameCam work better, as in performance, or is FRAPS just not officially supported right for Vista?

its the game, try lowerinf your setting till you get consistant performance when recording.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to work either because i get the same performance on lowest settings as i do the highest(1680x1050, 4xAA, high). So yeah, hopefully it's just the game, cuz i think they need to fix that problem first.

Like crap. I've had the game crash several times using fraps. Your screwed with your machinima bud. Just get a capture card.

I have VIVO, that is my capturing card...And if i recall correctly, i can't capture from my computer directly (as in, use s-vid out and connect it into the s-vid in and capture).

Better to die on your feet then live on your knees!

Time for your PissTest.

No problems here.

Fraps 2.6.3 and half size with max frames though I went with 60.

Without fraps 280-300 FPS with the 8800 Ultra.

Editing in WMM wouldn't work so am using virtualdub and saving them as AVI.

A small clip.

That's not fair. You have a freakin $800 card, and i have a 7900GT which is like $150.

Well I also am a old fart with a fiance, family and work full time so I can afford to build a pc every 2-3 years.

They say the only difference between men and boys in the size and price of their toys.

I am sure you will have much better crap as you get older and make more bank then myself, plus i'll long be dead while your playing the most recent virtual 3d game or some crap, depending on what the future holds.

But by then, he'll be an old fart with a fiancé, family, and work full time so he can afford to build a PC every 4-5 years.
