Question about Fraps

[MiRai]

I have a machine capable of running WoW at 60 FPS almost all of the time playing a single instance of the game. When recording with FRAPS my FPS is always 29, that's how this video capture software works. If I uncheck "Lock Framerate" the only thing it does for me is make my FPS bounce around from the 30's and 40's back down to 29. I personally don't like my FPS bouncing around like that [because it can mess with my timing] so I always lock it.

That's weird, I've noticed slowdown while recording, but it never really bothered me that much. Never paid attention to exactly what fps I was getting. FRAPs very well may reduce it to 30fps.....

Yea, I unchecked lock framerate and i will stay at 60 FPS until I switch screens to a different character or until theres a lot of stuff going on on the screen. After that, it will lower itself to 30 and lock itself there no matter what until I stop recording =/
