Fraps won't record properly.
Whenever I try to record my games with fraps, it randomly stops recording about 2 - 3 minutes into it. I'm not sure what to do or how to fix it, and I know I'm not randomly pressing the stop record button because its Num lock, away from most of the keys I'm using.

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
hello apollotheeagle, and welcome to TSF
is there enough space on your hard disk to let Fraps Record? you know that 1 min of fraps will consume about 400 Mb of space depending on the settings you use.
Open Faps, choose Movies, under movies, choose Half-size.

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
Thanks, I have been getting a lot of notices saying that I only have about 50MB of memory on my C: drive. I'll see what I can do, but what is the difference between full and half size?

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
50 mb!!!!!!!!!!!!! o_O
free some memory!!! it's bad to keep it like that mate :P
half-size will record the video in it's half-size so the file recorded is smaller than the original size. eg : if you recorded a video with full size, let's say it'll take 200 mb, but with half-size it'll take 100 mb or a bit more.

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
you need at least 15% free hard drive space for your computer to function properly.
so maybe you should start backing up stuff, deleting and uninstalling games

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
Fraps will automatically stop recording after a few minutes anyway, unless you purchased the full version.

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
What format is the HDD in, NTFS or FAT32?
FAT32 can only create files no larger than 4GB. But i guess you have just ran out of space so fraps stops recording.
As far as i know fraps will continue recording until you either run out of space or stop it manually.

Re: Fraps won't record properly.
If you have the registered version, then the problem is most likely due to no space left.
If you have the unregistered version then:
