I tried to record a saved replay of a lap in a F1 2k2 mod. I used Fraps and chose the 30fps setting for recording. The first several turns were very very slow with huge jumps from point to point. After the first set of turns the framerate picked up and smoothed out...But now the avi was playing at about 2x speed. The lap went by in less than half the time normally needed. Has anyone used Fraps to record replays? What settings 'should' I use to get a normal speed avi? dave henrie
I think 30 fps is too ambitious for fraps (too much add'l strain on the system). I made a few avi's in the Tiger Woods demo and I used 12-15 fps IIRC and they looked pretty good. BTW, I think you need to set the game res to 640x480 to get full screen replays (if that interests you). -- Joe M.

Thanks that's what I've been hearing. Someday I'll actually have to learn HOW to make proper videos. dave henrie
