Fraps graphic - blurry.

Dawguz · 03-04-2008, 10:07 AM

So I do realize you've probably discussed this issue at some point, tho I couldn't find it, been searching thru google for the past two days now for a decent answer, found tons of other answers, but nothing on this point.

Computer: (Laptop)
Windows Vista
HP Pavilion dv9500 Notebook PC
AMD Turion(tm) 64X2 Mobile Technology TL-56 1.80 GHz
2047MB ram
32-bit
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

Issue: In-game graphics are crystal clear, fraps graphic, not edited, is blurry compared to in-game.

I wish to know if anyone has any tip about this, sence yes, I am a total newbie at fraps.

Two print screen's, straight from paint is attached, one is from in-game, the other one from a frapsed clip played in WMP (both are print screen, paste paint).

Note how the size varies on the screenshots aswell.

Img. 1 is ingame, Img2 is Fraps.

Is FRAPS set to capture video at full size? I generally use the half-size option to save disk space and processing power.

That wasn't really the issue tho, but it's set to half-size.

Don't get me wrong, I've tried tons of different settings, even tweaking my graphic card for all that's worth. Still same result, so i'm kinda going clueless now.

Could the fraps quality be of my screens max 60 hz?
Because it still wouldn't make any sence, sence in-game it's perfectly nice and as a fraps file, it goes horrible. Shouldn't it be capturing exactly what I see in-game?

*Edit*
I heard something about Windows vista auto rendering fraps files while you capture them, is this so and how do I turn it off?

id almost have to blame it on being a laptop.i use fraps with vista,and have no issues.have you tried updating your drivers yet?also is the amd cool&quiet enabled?

yeah I've updated drivers, checked most of those things already, i'm starting to think it's the 60 hz screen that screws things over.
