Fraps wont save videos in one file, spliting to 1 min vids.

yup8 · 08-28-2010, 09:50 PM

I bought fraps a few days ago, and when i started one of my games and set the configuration i want i started to shoot a 5 min video, after i stopped recording
i went to my fraps folder and found 4 videos of about 1 min instead of a 5 min one.
i know i can connect them in any editing program but i wouldn't like to do so.
is there any solution?
(btw i have Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit, does it have any Restriction or Limits about created files size \ leagnth?)

thanks in advance.

Fraps does have filesize limits. if you notice, it splits the files at about 4 GB. Depending on the resolution used and if audio is recorded will change the duration of the recording. I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for the answer.
can you "hack" fraps into using something else ? like mp4 or AVI 2.0??
i dont care to mess with the rigestry.

Not that I know of. Fraps has its own codec used for very small compression and I do not think you can hack that.
