i have been using fraps to record my cod4 demo's but it lags like hell, is there any other software that works like fraps but doesn't lag when recording

it doesnt have to be software any thing other than a video camera all ideas welcome
 
Fraps is very intensive on your system so of course it will drop your dps considerably.



What FPS are you trying to record at with Fraps? What resolution are your demos at?
 
Use the TV-out to connect to a standalone DVD recorder or VHS recorder?

Otherwise record at a lower resolution or use a different codec?
 
If you are using fraps to make a video record an in game demo first of you playing the game. Then play the demo back and record it with fraps.

You may need to drop the screen res when playing back the demo and recording with fraps, depending what you want to use the film clip for.
 
/cl_avidemo 30 to start recording
/cl_avidemo 0 to stop

Screenshots are outputted to your screenshots folder, then use vdub or SonyVegas to make .avi and edit.
 
For my TF2 demos, I usually play them back at 800x600 res which is more than enough for an AVI!
 
With Source games you don't need to capture the video though you just do an in-game record then you can render it seperatly at whatever resolution you want and you won't get lag.
 
the dazzle platinum doesnt work with vista 64bit so i plugged it into my laptop vista 32, and had my gfx card outputting to my hdtv via dvi to hdmi and then the s-video port on the gfx card to the s-video port on the dazzle, which was pluged into the laptop using studio launcher 10 to try and capture but it doesnt show any video feed in the preview box

i have changed resolutions via windows and cod4 gfx settings to SD and still nothing

i really need to record without the lag FRAPS/WEGAME give me when i record the gameplay back in the demo veiwer

please help guys
 
Get a faster hdd tbh, all you can do.

Make sure u have loads of space left, a nice dual core cpu, lots of ram, defragged hdd, and make sure ** hdd can sustain nice avg write speeds.
