Fraps settings

What fraps settings should I use ?

Right now, a 30 second video has a 400mb filesize for some reason.

I wouldnt recommend fraps.. its realtime, so when your game stutters your video will do so, too.

why don't you use that export method (where single tga's will be rendered and you can put them together with vdub etc.)?

unless you use dx level 7 fraps is pretty much worthless

Yea like SWOT said, use Demoui (ctrl+F2 while watching demo or demoui in console)

and the "Startmovie moviename" command to start recording.

"endmovie" to stop recordind, i recommend binding those to keys such as F11 and F12

bind "f11" "startmovie filehere"
bind "f12" "endmovie"

then use Vdub or Premiere to load the .tgas

Yea like SWOT said, use Demoui (ctrl+F2 while watching demo or demoui in console)

isn't it shift + f2

woot! D: srylol

Thanks, many great killbox frags, lost due to FRAPS then.

I was wondering this for about a week now and haven't got an answer that helped, I should've asked here first.

When converting my tga's to avi with vdub, does anybody have a certain megabytes per second ratio (threshhold) that they keep their finished avi's at??

Just curious because I find it easy to add 5 mb to a clip without a great deal of visual improvement, I suppose I'm looking for a sweet spot to aim for here.

Thanks

P.S. That sux you lost frag footage snipe but once you try the tga conversion you'll be hooked! Besides I know from playing you, you'll have the demo folder refilled in no time!

What are you using for compression? Xvid?

Sorry for the late reply, yes Im using xvid

Well it's taking me forever to finish this, so here is the under construction version in the mean time:
