Sooooooo I got a urge to make a LFS movie but first I need to be able to record in good quality. If I record 1920x1080 32bit and with every setting at highest I get about 10fps which is lame. When I got the computer I thought I could record LFS without problem but it doesnt seam like it.
My specs:
i5 2500k 3.3ghz
GIGABYTE GTX 570
8GB ram
Fraps to record
Here I found a fast fix, changing to 1920x1080 16bit but as you can see colours look wierd at some places.
Have tried recording in slowmotion and then speeding it up but the final result is way too low FPS to be enjoyable. So I'm just wondering if anyone got any good tips that might let me keep good quality and decent FPS.
Afaik the video encoding (compression) takes most of the cpu power at that time. You could try to disable video compression and recode it afterwards with some other tool.
You will need a fast harddisk though as the files created are very huge.
I would try on my own but ain't got Fraps. Can't cope with demo-version either.

Where is that option?
Could perhaps and overclock of the CPU solve it? And I have an SSD that I can save on.
I did some testing and it seems that fraps runs quite well on my pc (1366x768) max settings, I don't see why you're getting such a low fps with a quad threaded cpu.
"Force lossless RGB capture" would be the option. I'm a bit astonished though, that this thing of software doesn't offer any video-format related options. Pretty lame.
Turn Force lossless RGB capture on, didnt do any worth mentioning.
Turned of AA in LFS and put on full AA in Nvidia controllpanel, looked as bad as just having AA turned off.
Tried saving the recordings onto my SSD instead of my HDD, no diffrence in FPS.
Tried out Bandicam. Basicly gave me the same results as Fraps but with an anoying link put on the finished video.
This sux I guess it has to be the game as Jam1e says because I can record BF3 in 1080p on high settings and get decent FPS
