Horrible frame rates with fraps

[madcat75]

Why do I get such crappy frame rates when I record stuff with fraps during UT2k4? I wanna record a demo but I get horrible frames

I have a P4 2.0 ghz - 1GB ram - ATI 9800 all in wonder pro also.

is the demo your using have a settings option for video? try adjusting those if it does. Maybe something is set to high.

It's a video recording software, capture avi movies while playing a game.

instead of recording during gameplay, can you record a demo through ut2k4 (like you can on CS) and then use fraps on the demo?

that's what a friend and i used to do with counterstrike

I'll try that when I get home.
