Placebo 29 Posted February 1, 2003 Hmm I don't see this as a general discussion topic, it's more troubleshooting or even OT with the fact it's relating to a 3rd party program, however I'm an exceedingly nice chap so I'll let you continue this in troubleshooting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted February 1, 2003 If you can't play a file captured with FRAPS, you are probably missing the codec that was used to compress it -- FRAPS uses the MS H.263 codec. What program are you using to try to play the file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted February 1, 2003 Sorry Placebo, but this is the only place I thought of to come. Whats MS H.263 Codec? I tried oplaying it with quicktime and Real Player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harnu 0 Posted February 1, 2003 It Captures live video from games and saves to .avi I think. To help make trailers and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted February 1, 2003 FRAPS is a program to show a FPS counter in DirectX and OpenGL applications (V-Sync must be enabled to do this). It can also capture movies to disk. Anyway, I can play FRAPS-captured movies using Windows Media Player. WMP also downloads missing codecs as needed. The are a number of standard and proprietary encoders/decoders (codecs for short) that are used to compress video and sound. H.263 is a provisional standard, i.e. is is commonly used and well-documented, but hasn't been ratified and adopted yet by the ITU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aus_twisted 0 Posted February 21, 2003 http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts....stl.exe Codec that fraps captures with which is uncompressed, why the file sizes are so big after capturing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Ash- 0 Posted February 21, 2003 I used Fraps to capture the VTOL capabilities of the Harrier for the Falklands Mod.. Bear in mind that you must change your resolution in flashpoint to 640x480 or you'll end up with just the right corner captured! The clip I did was originally 250mb but following the instructions in fraps, you can get a shareware compression program that gets it down really small.. In my case 4mb The problems this guy is having seems to indicate a video codec problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
