Fraps recording!!!!!!
hello
i wanted to record something with Fraps but the quality sucks.
I tried everything but was not able to get a video with High Quality.
So i have a few questions!
1.It is important which screen resolution i use?
2.I cant use the wide 1440x900 screen in crossfire.Does anyone know to get it to work and can i record with better quality then?
3.Are there any other tips to get a quality like freehat20 in his videos?(i konws he reders his videos with vegas pro 9 but my videoquality is so bad that it do not help to render them)

Yes the lower you set your settins the better you will get.Use the 800 res.And in order to get the 1440 you need a monitor to support it.
Growler is better at recording.Doesnt take as much fps to record.If your interested in the full growler let me know.I have it at a site I own and you can reg and download it.I will give you the best settings to record with.. -

I say, no.
For better quality recordings, record with higher FPS (higher than 30) and higher resolution.
-You do not need a monitor to support 1440 res, you can use GPU scaling, you would need a good ATi or Nvidia graphic card though
-Fraps makes higher quality recordings than growler, but yeah, fraps needs high end systems to make good recordings.

Watch that vid for GPU scaling. -

I dont understand what GPU scaling mean?
(i do not habe windows 7 like in the TUT and i my video card is an Nvidea 9600GT)
I dont think he knows what he is talking about.

Growler yo and it looks good.I dont have a video card just onboard. -

This I used growler with default settings.The reason the font is crappy because default record is like 320x240 so it scrunches the text.
Set recording res to record what ever res your game is on..Try it and you will be satisfied;)
Fraps is gay. -

Freehat20 also record with Fraps and he have an awesome quality.
Ok in your capture settings change the fps to record with to 20.If you are using 1024 res in game then select on growler that res.
It will look laggy until you export it as avi.
I will make a tut. -
here is a raw sample of a fraps video
note that you need to have fraps installed to see this video, because fraps installs a decoder which allow you to see the movie!
details:
Video: FPS1 1024x768 30.00fps 113674kbps [Video 0]
Audio: PCM 44100Hz stereo 1411kbps [Audio 1]
~ 4 seconds, ~55,6 mb

what problems do you have with your capture?
please put a sample somewhere.
make a capture, then use virtual dub in direct stream copy mode, make a little selection and save that selection. (or just save 5-6 seconds of avi, directly from fraps)
then upload it somewhere and put here the link...
Belive me.. fraps is a good tool
but it may require a lot of resources. maybe your computer isn't adequate to capture in real time at such resolution. maybe you have a slow hard disk, or not enough memory (ram), or a slow processor...
here's a video i made after a fraps capture. to see him in high detail, use 720 p resolution.
now.. if your computer meets the requirements, you can produce that result.

the key there is "HALFSIZE". this is why your movie is "not as clear" or "not as crisp" as the other HD youtube clips (720 or 1080p)
you should use full size capture
no doubt, the demands for your sistem will be bigger! but is worth!
can your computer handle full resolution capture?
tell the specs of your computer. processor, videocard and memory/hdd
then, after you captured the movie, you should edit it in a program which allow you to export in hd resolutions. this can be sony vegas or adobe premiere pro, and i am convinced there are other programs which allow that
i used vegas 8 for my clip, and i am a rookie in using that program, but is not so hard to do basic cuts/transitions/adding text -
thanks
i think my computer can handle full size and i habe Vegas pro9!!!!!!
and a few weeks ago i try to render a full size video.I used this TUT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAUCMYgQVSM&annotation_id=annotation_927367&feature=iv to get HD but than the videos sucks more then without rendering!!! -
here's my quick method:
1. i capture with fraps @ 30 fps, 1024X768
2. i made a template (in vegas) for videos of 960X720 (for 720p)
3. in vegas, i edit my movie
4. i render as wmv, 960x720, which can be sent directly to youtube, or as avi, same resolution, sony codec for maximum quality (but that can be any losless codec, for example huffyuv, or even as uncompressed avi (attention, it's HUGE) which can be transformed later in mp4 with easy h264. this mp4 will be uploaded to youtube -

Fraps is better but gay

@AddiJunior
better
now.. see if you can get a little higher bitrate to your wmv (in the settings, when you render). this will ensure a more "crisp", especially in texts.
also, notice that the file you obtain is "bigger" in megabytes if you use a higher bitrate.

@KimiKelKu
woaaaaa!
you are a true help, kid! your comments are priceless! erm.. USELESS!!!
btw.. why don't you turn off the computer and get somewhere out? nature and real life are wonderfull these days! -
why 25 and not 30?
remember: fraps (raw) videos gives you BEST quality. after editing, it's up to you to keep more of this quality. and this depends on the settings you will use for render. as a rule, the higher bitrate you will use in the final wmv, better result
