I say new, because its new to me... I've used fraps before, and recorded nicely at 25fps for a pvp movie before, and at a little lower for 2 before that.

Since then, I've gotten a much better computer... 2k ram, 3,2ghz dual, better graphics card...

If I'm standing in Orgrimmar, I have around 60fps... if I'm in AB in the open, I have around 45fps.
Then I start recording... BAM, 20fps. 25 if I'm lucky.
Now I'm used to it dropping, of course, but dropping with 25fps? Thats a lot.
Even more, when I enter pvp... that will be, when I'm in close combat and uses spells (this dosn't happen if i just spam spells in org, or i just get in combat, but not fight), bam... 9fps? all the way down to 3 fps...

That last bit there, is the true killer. I can deal with pvp'ing at 20/25fps (though it does start to feel a bit iffy)... its not great, but I can deal with it.
PvP'ing at 5fps? Not to mention how it would look on the video?

Anyone had any issues with this?
Running XP btw, not a Vista problem.
