Can anyone explain to me how to get it to record at a decent frame rate? When I load up fraps and start recording... it starts to crawl. Yet for any other games they work fine. I know I've seen a few youtube videos of people's recordings and they were smooth.
I know it's not my hardware. I have a AMD X2 4400+ 4GB ram.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Whatever I put it on, it still crawls. I just edit the clips to play at double speed and it plays perfectly :wink: You can do it using Movie Maker or, even better, Cyberlink Power Director - my movie editing software of choice.

has several ff7 in game videos on his account. They play at a decent framerate, i suggest asking him =)
Personally, i would suggest: Don't use the high-res patch, play it in 320x240 mode, windowed, and use a program like Camtasia where you can record just a portion of the screen. This may help your fps.

Great idea! but it's not so great if you want to record it with sound :( . I wonder how this guy ended up recording without problems.

The framerate in that YouTube video is pretty horrible. I wouldn't say that's perfect.
It looks like he was using hardware mode rendering mode, which may be faster to record.

Ah, yes - such videos of cleverness and wit :-D
I always edit the sound effects and music on afterwards. You can find the music pretty easily by googling and there are loads of free sound effect sites around.

:( wish it would just work "out of the box" lol :-D
By the way anyone have a save file right at Sephiroth battle? Maybe I'm terrible at searching but didn't find one anywhere.
Thanks!

What do you mean with "out of the box"?

What I meant was fraps recording, in reference to all the work arounds needed to get it playing at decent speeds. Apparently there is no perfect solution for it :-(

Surely if you hardware render it, then FRAPS would software record it, thus spreading the load?
I saw my friend FRAPSing FFVII on quite a poor PC. I'll attempt it later tonight.
FRAPS isn't a screencap, though. it renders OpenGL/DX data to an mpg. Therefore, putting something windowed won't help.
