Okay, so here I'm going to tell you how to have excellent quality, speed, and fps. Sounds near impossible, but I have found a way.

This is NOT recommended for computers that cant handle playing SA/VC at 1280x980x16

Setting Fraps

Step 1: Okay, Open up your Fraps (version 5.0+). When you do this, go to the Movies tab.

Step 2: Look at the bottom left of your Fraps and you will (should) see something that you can check off that says No Sync. Check it.

Step 3: Change the quality to Half and not Full (trust me it doesnt make a difference in quality).

Step 4: Change the FPS to somewhere in between 23.80 - 25.50 (I have mine set at 23.97, different for all computers.)

Your done setting your fraps. Congrats.

In-Game Recording

Step 1: After you are done setting your Fraps, go into SA/VC and click Options > Display Setup > Advanced. Change it to 1280x980x16.

Step (2): If your using SA, go set your Visual FX Quality to Low.

Step 3: Start up SA/VC, get a rep and record it. It will now have excellent quality with awesome speed and fps.

I did invent this method of using Fraps.

Only downside: Cannot use WMV (Daf-Fy's rendering template for Vegas).

Cheers. :rock:

I kinda doubt the greatness off that but i'll try it out... with 30fps though.

What do you mean 5.0?

Just get one with the No Sync and Half and Full quality option.

Perfect.

I;ve been using this method since I started, and yes, it does work.

I don't really see how this method will make my recordings any better, but I will absolutely try it.

Will write my results later.
