FRAPS will only record at 11 maby 12 FPS, max in Freelancer, even when I set it to 50 FPS. I recently formated, and it didn't do this before at all. In-fact, FRAPS recorded at around 55 FPS on a good day before. Whats gone wrong?
Do I need a codec or something to make it go a little faster maybe?
Cheers!

Boys if i may, how does it work actually, cus i wanted record some of my trade runs and maybe edit them together or something to promote trading with RP.

Fraps has quite an impact on system. Overall you need to have high speed hard drive and CPU. You might want to use RAID0 (if you have on-board controller or dedicated card) with pair of hard drives as well, in fact I'd say it's even required if you want to record full-screen mode. Normally just record in half-size. FPS parameter in fraps isn't what FPS you will have, it just tells at which frame rate the clip will be recorded at.
Ok...well I think FRAPS is better then GameCam. Easyer, better quality and to the point....I tried GameCam, and do you think I could get it to record anything or zoom or anything like that, even after tutorials I couldn't make it work
I just re-installed BF2. Everything was on High, even Anti-Analizing was on x8 I could record at 48 Frames Per Second. So here I am thinking the problem is Freelancer. I used my little tool and completly removed Freelancer and all components and crap from my system, re-installed and hoped for the best. I go to record. and again, 11 Frames Per Second.
This never happened before I formated. If it works perfectly in BF2 then why not something thats like 10 years older than it! :rtfm:
Cheers :cool:
EDIT:
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8400GS 512MB
CPU: 2.5GHz AMD Athalon 4800+ 64bit Duel Core processor with HT2000
HDD: SATAII Western Digital 200GB 7200 RPM
Thats all thats needed. All have latest drivers. :)
EDIT 2: I got this message when trying to install Freelancer. Never happened to me before:
"Freelancer has not detected the 600MHz Pentium II processor required to run this game. Would you like to install anyway?"
"Freelancer does not recognise your video card" (That one I got last time, but could be relevant this time.)
"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."
I found out the problem. Nvidia wanted pushed everything up to 'quality' instead of 'balanced' I changed to balanced and turned down texture filtering to 6x instead of 12xQ (I assume that is fairly High, and no the Q ain't a typo)
I went back into FL, and wallah! I have my 46 Frames Per Second in recording mode back! I am a happy bunny again. And recording speed in BF2 was even faster comming in at 59 FPS which I think is maxed out.

Feed back on the different recording programs I used:
-GameCam: too complicated, insulting sound quality, crap interface, complicated solution to game recording in my opinion
-FastCapPro: Don't bother! So many bugs I would exceed the post length in telling you, the sound quality is even more crap then GameCam, when I recorded with it, my video ended up blurry and distorted and Windows Media Player and my DVD player programs would crash or say windows error. No good at all!
FRAPS: Easy Interface, great quality (has to be for the size!) compact design, easy to set it up. Best of all of them.
The 'one touch record and one touch stop record' option with FRAPS, makes it easy for me to record a speed moder when I come across one. Or when I am in a fight and the opponent starts shield running.
I really don't have time to Press and hold the 'backwards slash key', press F1 and R key at the same time with GameCam during a fight. There where more camera functions, but they where all fairly straight forward and could be added in Vegas or WMM in-fact!
FRAPS wins! :yahoo:
