maybe tell fraps to save movies not on the same drive as your swap file.

And with a 1600x1200 resolution (or something) I recommend you set fraps to half size videos. I doubt any harddrive can manage full size writing with that resolution.

Hey there Void, I remember you from a previous game... similiar nicks and all!  Fraps is crap. I'm on a nice system, E8400, SATA drives, HyperX ram... well, even my system is a bit dated now, being just about a year old... but fraps still runs like crap on it.

I'd actually suggest a better program.  Try one by CamStudio, which is pretty good.

I use theirs over Fraps... plus it is free.  I do not know if it works with games tho. ><

****Edit

CamStudio works, if you run in Windowed mode and record the region.  I have not been able to record fullscreen using CamStudio.  Anyways, the quality wasn't so great on mine.  You have to do a lot of little system tweaks.  If you wanna get good video, try lowering your resolution.  Perhaps put your colors into 16 bit.  Record to a hard disk which isn't in use (ie. one not running your game, windows, etc.).  Anyways, hope this helps ya a bit.

Yea I remember you Void

thanks for all the info

Can you actually pick which core runs which programs.

It says all 4 cores run Demigod. Does it even support Quadcore? I hear the enginge is old.          

You're not going to be able to record full-screen high-resolution video on the fly, regardless of whether you're using Fraps or not.  Either reduce the resolution that Fraps is recording at or reduce the resolution you're playing at.  You also would do well to follow the above advice by limiting which cores Demigod and Fraps use (although I'm not sure what problems this may cause, if any) as well as have Fraps save to a different hard drive.  If all of that together still reduces your framerate to an unplayable level, then your computer simply can't handle recording + playing at the same time.
