FRAPS recording makes my game laggy? (Read 510 times)

Well ive switched from FSX to FS9 in April. I now run FS9 good settings and completly smooth. I havent made one of my youtube videos in a while on fs so I decide to do one today but I dont want it to be laggy because that makes the video less attractive.

So I boot up a test run with the cessna and takeoff....SMOOTH...then start the FRAPS and bam it starts to get laggy again? Angry

Once I stop the recording its fine.

Is there a way to stop this, ive tried changing the FRAPS frame rate to the same as my game but no luck... Sad

Any advice or a good free screen recorder. I tried my camtasia studio and that was even more laggyer.
Sad

Thanks

Sincerely, Tyler

Disk IO, Disk IO, Disk IO.
I dont know how that software caches out, but it might or might not affect the result

Fraps writes video frames to the disk... 25 a second. that causes disk io (which fs needs for loading textures) and disk io causes processor load (that fs uses for flying).

Thank you.

Makes good sense.

Is it possible on multi core processors to have FS on one core, and Fraps on another to alleviate some of this?
