Sorry people. I must repeat myself a 3rd time, and in light of the now more professional atmosphere here, perhaps someone can shed some light on this issue.
When in field, using Fraps, the fps drops to like 27-28 fps when recording. I have tried everything I can think of, including different systems but it always stutters as it never achieves the full 30.
FF8 does.....
Given ff8 does work as intended I can't see this being a sorely Fraps issue...
edit:
fraps 3.4.4 seems to fare better in terms of fluid movement... doesn't seem to be jittery like the older fraps, although the fps is still saying it is dropping to 28.
edit 2: nope. When the recording is viewed back it jitters. For some reason fraps is losing 2 fps when recording and that seems to be regardless of system. At least, with me it is.
