recording dolphin movies with fraps

The King · 07-09-2009, 03:14 AM **#11**

As I made a lot of Videos myself (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6B09DB29152D7EAF) I can tell you that there is no way to speed up the recording. I had that problem for every game I recorded so far. If someone knows a way, please let me know.

You're limited to your hard drive then. Get a ssd to record faster or use a dedicated hard drive that isn't doing read and write ios at the same time.

This is obviously warez...

To answer the problem: Fraps by default locks the framerate to the recording framerate. If you record videos with 30fps - dolphin runs 30fps - if dolphin runs 30fps - the game runs 50%

You need to disable "lock framerate" in Fraps options.

Also disable "lossless rgb capture" this one takes much cpu and thats what dolphin needs.

When its still slow try using 60fps recording. If its faster you know its fraps fault. If its slower your computer is too slow.

A quadcore would be better for this, because dolphin uses both of your 2 cores and fraps takes it from dolphin.

As boogerland said, the HDD is used a lot. How can fraps save 30 images per second from the video and read the game iso at the same time ^^

edit: oh did i mention to disable frame limit in dolphin and use audio throttle instead?

Fraps required a 4 core CPU to capture videos without lost of fps.

Try D3DGear from www.d3dgear.com, its video recording is very fast, it does not slow down the game.

the pcsx2 emulator had the same problem,there was some sort of capturing program that recorded it at whatever speed the emulation was going at ,and then rendered a smooth 30fps video.
No idea what it was

I call BS on that. Fraps has been around far before Quad Core CPU's came along. So how do you explain that theory?
