...ionno what's up with some ppl recommendations.

You don't need ram to run fraps.

Likely if you needed ram it's becuase sc2 has a memory leak problem

Fraps is caped by the write speeds of a hdd, how much space do you have left on the hdd you're writing too. Perhaps at 9 mins of constant max speed writing your hdd has problems thermally or is nearly full.

and system page filing would only work to off load the explorer and crap while sc2 demands more ram which you have plenty of.

Changing it to sc2 16 bit wont do anything fraps will still be taking up the same amount of bandwidth i believe it uses the RGB24 to write it's files

Well I just wanted to make sure his RAM was properly set to dual channel.

Typically when HDD's have issues with FRAPS they cut off and make a new file itself, it's usually around this time too.


CM, have you tried reinstalling FRAPS?

Also, are you still having graphical problems?

actually yes, at his resolution it would be about 9 mins in when a new file would be created.

1024*768*3*30=70778880 ~70.1Mbp/s
compression 100-40% of original size
so 70%
70778880*.7 = 49545216 ~ 49.5Mbp/s

3993 MB file

49.5/8=6.1875 ~ 6.1MBp/s

3993/6.1 =~ 654/60 ~ 10mins so yeah about a 8-12 min file

Well, I just cleared some space on the HD (actually deleted a DVD and moved another 6 gigs or so to the F drive) So like 17 gigs left for C drive.

Yea, this actually happened. After a few minutes of recording (with no interruption though) I noticed that it made 2 files, 3.9 and 3.16 gigs. Perhaps it was trying to make the 3rd file and fucked up?

I dunno though, because I began to record a whole new one just starting the rep at 9 minutes and it lagged anyways.

no didn't try to reinstall.

I haven't been able to drop a rep onto SC2 to even test shit anymore. Fucking worse than the fraps problem >.<

I've got defrag on pause, shit is taking way too long


PS- Just deleted Devil May Cry 4 (shitty game) and the rar files on my F drive so that freed up 10 gigs or so
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Oh, this computer isn't as bad as some may think it is off in it's category. The only problem is you're capped out in ddr2 ram on this mobo I believe.


Let's give this a shot.

Run Fraps on a different game, same res that you play sc2 on, and see if we encounter a similar problem at a near-same recording time.Run it full screen as you did on sc2. This should use a similar amount of HDD space, and we'll see if we encounter the problem again.

We will take it from there. I really dislike considering having 'computer problems' basing it off of using a third party program while running an application that's in beta. It's just not proper or fair to the computer.

I'll try it with l4d2, this game has crazy good graphics too.

I used to have a problem I believe at least is similar with this. The problem for mine is that the Hard disk ran out of space during recording. After I stopped recording immediately, the FPS went back up to normal.

The split 3gb files are coded by FRAPs for maintaining video integrity (most of it despite its being anoying putting them back together later) Hope this helps.

Ok, the defrag definitely solved the problem. Now I ran into another issue though, I ran out of HD space lol. It stopped recording at about 20 minutes in T_T. Gotta find a shorter game.
Thanks for the help everyone
