Fraps Quality Question

Zorian* · 09-06-2007, 01:14 PM

Hello Everyone. I have had Fraps from pre-TBC but due to the fact that my PC wasn't capable of making videos,i didn't use it.

Now that i have upgraded my PC,i have decided to start making PVP Videos of WoW,but the quality of the video is my problem.Everything in the video looks very pixalatedm my character,my chat log,my ui...everything.

PC Spec:
- CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,4 Ghz
- M/B Asus P5k
- Ram Ocz 2GB kit(2x1GB)DDR2 800 SOE
- SVGA PCI-X Nvidia 8800 GTX 768MB HTDP
- HDD Sata II 500GB Western -16MB Cache-72

Picture of my in-game video settings(Please mind the "Windowed Mode",i didn't have it ticked when i was frapsing):http://i9.tinypic.com/2dlnkfo.jpg
Im seeking a Crystal-quality just like the Videos that Niar has made.

This is a picture from a small video that i took with fraps.(Save the picture,then press the "Zoom In" button 3 times and then look at the quality... this is what it looks like when i played the video):http://i8.tinypic.com/52vxp1y.jpg
Im looking forward to your suggestions.

The picture is 640x482...

You should be running the game at a higher res than 1024x768 since you now have a monster computer (quad core, you bastard!), more like 1280x1024 or higher if possible.

Also be sure to check "full size" in fraps.

1280x1024 is the higher it gets =( , but the point is i want the video to have a crystal-clear quality.I dont understand why the quality is like that,when i have everything ticked to maximum in WoW. Fraps is set to "Full Size" and at 30 FPS.I also have ticked "No Cursor" and "No sync" is unticked.

Here is a video,check it out and see the quality. http://files.filefront.com/WoW+2007+.../fileinfo.html

Its 25MB.

Is there a program to increase the quality of my fraps footage...or do i have t o live with this mess

?

Thank you in advance

What fraps ver are you running?

Zorian* · 09-06-2007, 09:24 PM

2.6.3

Thiras · 09-06-2007, 10:02 PM

Then thats why. You need 2.8.0 or above to record at higher resolutions than 1152x864.

Zorian* · 09-07-2007, 10:39 AM

Ok,i updated to 2.9.1.

You were right Thiras! The video is now clean!So that was the problem, the 2.6.3 couldn't record higher resolutions so it made it smaller,thus being blurry.

Thanks for helping out Thiras
