Question / Help Window capture freezes after one or two seconds.

[Melvinjg]

So I tried recording some footage of Star Wars Empire at War Forces Of Corruption but the video froze after like one second while the audio kept playing. I'll also include the log in this thread. Any ideas on what is going on? Many thanks in advance :)

Your cpu is quite bad, i'd recommend getting a better system.

Ah that was what I was affraid of. My laptop is indeed on its last breath. Should I use Fraps for the time being before upgrading to a new laptop then? Or would you recommend a different recording program?

Sticking to fraps would be better yeah, since it doesn't use a lot of cpu but it's recordings are just pretty big.

Alright. yeah I know that, I use it to record footage of my modding project. It does what it has to do but the files are indeed quite big and it creates quite some lag. That's why I wanted to switch to a different program. But alright then, Fraps it is.
