Hey,

I want to record Cortex Command and have a copy of fraps. I'm confused because some youtube vids say they used fraps but fraps doesn't recognize Cortex Command as a game (no fps counter, no video file made). I can't use CamStudio as it's got audio-recording problems, hypercam has a watermark (eek) and is slow, gamecam is slow. How do you get fraps to record CC?

Also, is there a program that uses directX/openGL and can dock windows? For example, there's Jedi Window Dock (http://www.anappaday.com/downloads/2006 ... -dock.html) that can dock windows but does not use directX and thus doesn't work with fraps.

Or is there a simple way to make fraps record non-3d-directx programs that I'm just missing?

If you run CC in 640x480 without sound, even though there's no FPS counter, the video capture will still work. You'll notice it when your FPS drops, heh.

mine worked fine by just disabling the counter and setting it to record at 25 fps... No sound disable neccesary.
And FRAPS does record from CC. I used it myself.

Yeah I use that then open it with gif animator set it to the right frame rate and save it as a gif..
I have animation shop 3 as well , it's not as simple but you can do more stuff with it :P

Not sure why it's not working for me then... btw, I use Vista.

Anyway, these are my fraps settings:
-FPS Disabled
-Video Capture Hotkey: F9
-Half size
-25 fps
-Record Sound: yes
-Sound Source: Detect best sound input

My fraps version is 2.8.2, build 6489. When I press F9 in Cortex Command, I don't get any frame drop. After pressing F9 again (usually stops video recording) no video file is made.

maybe because you are using vista( don't know maybe) and did you set the folder where the video is saved?

Yes. It's c:\users\MYNAME\Desktop\Downloads\FrapsMovies.

I use Full-size. That *may* be the problem.
or it could be that it's not getting rights to the folder... Try setting it to the Fraps installation folder instead.

Wow, can't believe I didn't try that. Well, anyway, fullscreen fixed it. Amazingly, I just needed to run CC in fullscreen and fraps then recorded it.

Thanks!

FULL SCREEN IS REQUIRED!

Fraps only takes caps from a full-screen app. The only exception I know is itunes. Fraps will try to record Cover View as a video, if you ask it to.

Hah that why i contacted data about it :) you MUST turn off TrueColorMode in settings.ini... BUT the one and the most sad thing is you WILL lose the glow effect... so i think we should wait for a new CC build to fix this annoying bug, BUT it wont hesitate ME from recording Fraps videos :)

EDIT: the problem isn't Vista

I manage to record fraps movies when games are windowed...games like Garry's Mod, Portal...

Cortex works fine for me too.
