movies

[Casket]

How can i make movies w/o lag?

i get over 60 fps or so normally, but when i use fraps i get 10 , 8ish

Is there any other program i could use thats free and reduces lag?

or do i need a better computer?

heres my specs.

768 RAM

p4 1.8

Radeon 9,600 PRO 128 mb

i know its not the best.

But its good enough to run vice city mazed with 2 second load times.

(god i cant wait for blue!!!!!!!!)

Start by reducing the resolution from whatever you use to 640x480x16, turn off antialiasing, make sure the framelimiter is on on SA (to get a smooth cap) and make sure FRAPS writes "Half-Size" videos, and choose a reasonable FPS to capture in FRAPS (25 with the framelimiter on.. no need to go higher as the game only runs at 25 FPS then). If that doesn't help (it should), defrag your harddrive.. often SA's dynamic loading (that uses the harddrive all time) combined with FRAPS intensive writing can cause lag. FRAPS is the fastest capper you can get.. if it's not fast enough, your computer is slow or your graphics are too high.

if your recording in MTA, that might explain a lot..

For me a busy server alone drops my frame rate from a constant 30 to 10
