Raw fraps footage
Usually people are arguing about the quality at the end product what they produce from the raw fraps footage. But i alrady start complaining at the raw footage itself, i'm not pleased with it. What i'm using:
- Very fast computer, seperate large HD for the raw videos. - Latest retail Fraps - 1680x1050 resolution - Ingame setting on high. - Fraps settings: sound off, No fps show, No mouse pointer, Full screen and 30 fps. Is there a way to have better quality raw footage? The quality i have now is kinda like the same saving a image to .jpg wich is bad quality compared to .bmp I don't care about the size of the raw data, all i want is the same raw quality to be just like ingame quality. |

Fraps doesnt really have any freedom in letting you set codec settings or use alternative codecs, which is kinda sad- it would be nice to be able to have a bit more control over it... but the raw fraps footage I'm getting is practically lossless, so I'm not sure what problems you're having |

Just because a bad video player is up to date doesnt make it good compared to a good video player. Try downloading VLC (VideoLAN client) to see if that makes any difference in playback quality.
"fullscreen clip is at 1680x1050" does that mean the clip is displayed at that resolution in fullscreen and that you're sure of it? Quote:
Are you playing on a laptop, or using a flatscreen monitor? I've heard a lot of problems people have had with resolution/aspect ratio for recording or streaming xfire for example~ |

Tried VLC, aint all better tbh. Yes the clip is displayed proper at 1680x1050 fullscreen.
My monitor is 22 inch and 1680x1050 gives the best display, anything lower would make it look ugly but i noticed running the game on a lower resolution and frapsing that gives better quality but with the downside being blurry/stretched. EDIT: Forget the idea about lower resolutions i just noticed the shit quality is still the same for raw movies >.< EDIT2: Does crystal clear raw footage even exist with fraps or am i just asking to much? Is there always some quality loss with raw data? EDIT3: I made this some time ago, is the quality out of it the best or can it be better? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgMDS6LJxV4 Last edited by Epix7 : 07-20-2009 at 03:12 PM. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4KBM...el_page&fmt=22 is the avrage quality I get on youtube with my clips, it's far from raw but decent for a free streaming service I'd say. Last edited by MrWise : 07-20-2009 at 11:34 PM. |
