More Issues with FRAPS

Being the poor bugger I am, buying a new microphone this weekend has not been an option. Thankfully, I was able to find one (albeit a crappy one) that works amongst my random stuff. Until I fix this money problem I'll be using an inferior microphone and just toughing it out.

I haven't been able to get my audacity recordings to sync with my fraps video due to a stutter when recording the video. Normally I don't show my FPS but for kicks and giggles I turned it on. Randomly I drop from 60 fps to 5-10 fps. This causes the audio and video to de-sync toward the end of all my videos. Anyone have a recommendation for a good frame rate to shoot for when recording?

I'm running an i7 w/ 4G of RAM (and 2G dedicated on my video card) so I'm confident the issue isn't a hardware one. I have been recording at a stupidly high resolution, resulting in 30-150G videos. I think I might drop the resolution a bit. Any recommendations there?

I'm very excited because I feel like I'm almost where I need to be. Then it is going to be a matter of practice practice practice! Can't wait.

Oh, and because I'm shameless and he is awesome, here is my brother's newest song (laid back acoustic jam)! Hold Me

That kind of drop could be due to Anti Virus scanning new FRAP files as they are made. At least thats what i think when I disabled my Anti virus active checking system and it seemed to resolve the issue. Try using Game Booster too if its still prevalent.

So...just a bit of an update...

As mentioned, part of the issue could potentially be that I've been writing the video to my hard drive in my native res. Thats a full 1920x1080 in all its uncompressed glory. I've been advised that 720x480 is the most I'll need. It should also put a bit less strain on my compy.

Shows how much I know.

do you have 2 hard drives set up: 1 for applications and the other for dedicated video recording?
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

Yes, it would. It helped my Fraps recordings at least.

Why would you need to use audacity when using fraps? Record the audio with fraps and you should never have audio sync issues.

Also make sure lossless RGB encoding is off.

I use an i7 and I can record at 1920x1200 with no problems.
