Talk:Fraps

message: When I start to record it, the game starts to lag and when I play the Video it was really laggy. Can someone tell me why?
*GTW Recording game demos with FRAPS
Wikipedia is NOT a support forum. But anyway, choosing to capture at half-size should yield smoother results. Or if fullscreen is necessary, disabling sound sync can help framerate, but will desynchronyze sound with the video. --Omega Said 20:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, exactly. I have experienced horrible lag with my system with these factors turned on. Be sure to turn them off before proceeding. Have a good one, -- Steven Stone 02:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: It can also be a CPU-specific issue. Trying to record on a system with an overclocked 2.8 GHz CPU results in horrible quality and 6 FPS, even though the CPU works at full capacity. Or maybe program-specific, as recording from an already low-FPS movie yields that results, but recording from an older game is flawless.--89.147.67.118 (talk) 14:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Minimal and noticeable are not mutually exclusive.  They both might qualify as weasel words - this article needs a serious re-write. But seriously, you gotta expect video-capture to cause extra load to a system.  Bookbrad (talk) 05:48, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Fraps retail version has a hidden file inside it, blocking the use of wared full version.
Any source for that claim ? Unless properly sourced and checked, I can't say its okay to keep that line. Is he referring to the branding in every copy? Even if that's the content of the file he's referring to, it couldnt possibly block warezed use, as FRAPS does not require online activation. --Omega Said 21:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this as well may be a bug after installation in the processing of Fraps. I have tried what User:Lil Flip246 has said and the retail version proved unsuccessful to work, therefore yielding no progress at all. Keep that in mind, -- Steven Stone 02:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Wikipedia be used to advertise the price of products if its not integrally relevant to what the product is?  Why not just say that "a commercial version is available for purchase"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qed (talk • contribs) 03:09, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: As if. You can see how "visually lossless" it is when your game displays small red text (as in enemy names etc.). As example: larger red text: http://picturestack.com/43/930/1aDaion201005lt5.bmp Smaller text as enemy names from distance can be up to unreadable in the video. --91.43.59.254 (talk) 23:21, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Could someone find a citation for "the videos must be transcoded ... before the recorded videos can be played back smoothly on most media players"? FRAPS videos seem to play fine on both VLC and WMP on my computer. I've added a citation needed tag. Pokepal101 (talk) 07:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi.
This note about use of hyphen and age can be found in WP:HYPHEN as well as page 2 of How to Use a Hyphen by Grammar Girl.
When the length of time is expressed with a stative verb, it needs no hyphen, e.g.:
*"He is two years old."
*"This video is two minutes long."
But when it is used as a compound adjective, it needs hyphen:
* "A 34-year-old woman saw him." (Also: "A 32-years-old woman saw him.")
* "A two-minute-long video..." (Also: "A two-minutes-long video...")

replies: text: I dropped an edit warring notice on 's talk and invited him to come here. If he reverts one more time, I am going to report him, because he is being very aggressive: Violating WP:BRD, not participating in this discussion so far (he should have started it) and inappropriate uncivil comments like "you don't own this page!" while not knowing the first thing about the English language. I'll ask a third person look at this topic too. Fleet Command (talk) 06:12, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Sure, wikipedia doesn't like original research... but I think it's interesting to note that downloading the latest version of fraps from their webpage gives you 3.5.99.15627 which contains files date marked as having been compiled on 9/25/2018 (use 7-zip on the setup.exe)
Similarly, I have an older download of fraps, 3.5.99.15618, files date marked as 2/26/2013.
These files aren't binary compatible (the newer versions actually are bigger than the older versions)...
