Game recording

[Helium_Junkie]

I have an old version of fraps, but it cuts my framerate rather drastically when recording 1920x1200 and the "record half size" option creates files that wont open... I wondered if there was an alternative anyone could suggest?

Thanks

This isn't just source games.
I record to a seperate drive only used for this.
Its not the playback thats the problem, unless I record at half size in which case I cant play back.
I get approx 50fps when not recording, 20-25 when recording. Its not THAT bad, but since im using a several year old fraps I wondered if there was something better.

Hardware: E4400 @ 2.66ghz, 4g ram, XFX 4850xxx.
I don't have a raid, just a standard (not too old) sata drive.

Well, I found that I can view the video that is recorded in half size if I open it in virtualdub. Since I need to compress it anyway this isn't a problem, so now I record in half size Woot!

Frame rate stays over 30 so is thoroughly playable.
Thanks for the advice!
