I have fraps up, and it has the FPS counter at the top, right? so while i'm playin without recording, its hovering around 130, sometimes 200. but when I start recording, the counter goes down to 10 and the resulting video is even worse! what's wrong?
I've got a question as well. I record my games in 720 and 1080p based on the kind of performance I'm getting from my game. Ideally, for a shooter especially, I need my frames 60 or higher, but every time I set fraps' FPS to 60 while recording, the playback is very laggy and just about impossible to edit accurately. However, when I set it to 29.97 frames (and possibly 30) and record, I have no problems at all beside for the fact that playing a shooter competitively at 30 frames is just about impossible to do.
i probably can't just get an upgrade to 64, and is there a way to check on the computer what my hard drive speed is? or do i have to fish through the closet to find the box?

If it's newer, it should be about 3GB/s and 7200 RPM.
It can be useful in rare cases where you want to do a slomo section. Having a higher frame rater will make that much smoother.
But in almost any other case 30 fps makes little to no difference from 60 fps indeed.
@OP if you haven't understood it from the posts above yet, lock your Fraps to 30 fps. This can be done in the "Movies" section of Fraps. Just hit the check box for 30 fps at the Video Capturing Settings.
That is true I suppose for 60FPS but 120? That is just not needed. Even in an extreme example.
As said, cutting down on FPS will reduce lag while recording, the file size and you will not notice a difference on most video-sharing websites. A regular eye will not be able to see ''lag'' at anything more then 25-ish FPS. 30 should be fine.
um its a 2.60 GHz AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor
4.00 GB (3.25 usable) RAM,
32-bit
FRAPS
video capture 120 FPS, Full-size, loop buffer 30 seconds, no lock framerate, stereo win7 sound
That's your processor and RAM.
I'm asking how fast your Hard Drive is.
Anyone know a solution?

OP, you cannot capture video at such a high framerate. You never, ever, ever need to record at a higher rate than 30FPS.
This is what I get for taking a day off. z_z
All you are doing recording at 60FPS and 120FPS is putting tons of strain on the system and increasing filesizes for no reason.
