Recently, I dled fraps because I wanted to make vids on halo.(they'd be really low quality because my gfx card is crappy) But I still want to make them. When I hit the record vid option, 2 problems happen:
1. The FPS goes down to 1-6
2. The vid only records for 30 secs.
I was wondering if anyone could help me, or give me a link to a better recording device (free)

P.S: If anyone is going to rag on me by saying that the CE problems thread is the same problem as this one, they are an entirely different issue. So shut up.

The unregistered version of FRAPS only lets you record for 30 secs.

Get the full FRAPS and you won't have the fps problem.

You will need a pretty kick ass computer to record and play at the same time. Well maybe not kick ass but it must be pretty good. Your resolution should be at 640 x 480 res when recording for best quality and performance. My PC is a 3200+ 2gb ram and 7600GT and at 1152 res. and recording using fraps my FPS can drop to 20. Fraps kills your fps. I set my fps in halo at 30 fps when recording at 640 res. Never goes above or below 30 for me. If you wanna check out my video its right here.

Only prob i have is some slight jerks in my vid due to the editing in WMM

My 1st montage came out terrible since I recorded at 1152 res.

Doesn't registering fraps cost money? I think it does, so i'm not getting it. Not worth the money.

Its not hard to get good footage with the free version of fraps.. Neither is getting the full version of fraps somewhere. Anyways you think its hard to get the good footage on here? Try halo 2 with what stuff I got. I vcr tape and a digital camera.. Thats why I dont make halo 2 montages. Today I stuck a ghost that was boosting from the top of terminal and he went below the tracks and I got him just as he went through. I was like NOOOOOO I should have recorded that!
