Re: Fraps Framerate limitations question.
Yes you can, but it will look like shit when you get to the stage where you render the project for distribution on the net.
Heres what happens: Your video is recording 15 FPS off of a 30 FPS source, and when you render it in essence what your doing is compressing the file by then removing frames at certain interludes all across the project to make it smaller, so now you have a 30 FPS video recorded at 15 FPS (basicly every other frame) which now has every 5th (3rd, 4th, whatever) frame removed for compression purposes.
The final project will be choppy and look like it is full of lag.
The best way to do it is to set Fraps to record as close to the frame rate as your source, then compress when its done. This will eat up more hard drive space, but it will look better in the end.
If you go to Machinima.com there are some nice tutorials about how to get clean video off of MMO sources which should help you out.
Hope that helps.
