Film stutters with or without FRAPS

I do not believe I get that film from you rogerdee.  5pointOh, we need that film as well.

I would also like to get the DXDIAG output for your respective machines.  To date, no one here (to my knowledge) has been able to duplicate the complaint about stuttering, unless it was while using FRAPS and the FRAPS frame rate fell below 30.

Skuzzy, would you like some examples from me as well as a DxDiag... ?
:huh

And if so, do you want the .ahf itself or FRAPS examples?

 Well Skuzzy said if your computer doesn't have enough ommph to run two CPU intensive programs (AHII, and Fraps) the FR will drop below 30 (Fraps minimum FRs) which WILL cause stuttering.  So if your on a not so stella computer your going to have trouble. On the other hand if your having strutters with just the film running, I'd say send those films and your DXdiag

I am batting 0 for 3.  None of rogerdee's submissions would stutter when I played them.

Sketch, as I said before, if the FRAPS frame counter falls below 30, then FRAPS is going to generate a film that stutters.  Nothing we can do about it.

Tha Mossie film was pretty neat.  Maybe something will show up in the DXDIAG you sent.

Ok I sent you my AR234 racing footage, I apologize for the length, but it stutters all the way through the video, and there are various places where my frame rate was at max.

I get studders even if fraps is not running...

I can see if the fraps frame rate falls below 30, it'll studder, but some films are fine, some are crap.

Here's a link to a finished film. You can see the studders throughout the film (though I tried to get most of that cut out - it wasn't fun).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4VyglZq1b8  - Youtube version

http://www.stage6.com/user/bmathis/video/2212456/Aces-High-eXtreme-Air-Racing-League  - stage6 High quality version




NOTE: I realized the studdering Mainly occurs when viewing my plane. When I switch to another person, the studders subside (except my plane continues to studder).

What do you think about that?

I've noticed that sometimes while it studdering if you hit the "Append Films" button  and basically stop the film and restart the film it will smooth out for a little bit.

Ok, 0 for 4 now.  5pointOh's film played really smooth with or without FRAPS running.

One thing I will note is his system, like mine, is running Vista.  I just wonder how much background stuff is running on yours 5pointOh?  Everything about your system's hardware exceeds my test system and yet my test system is performing significantly better that what you reported for yours.

Right now, I am moving this out of the bug report forum as no one has been able to send a film that shows any type of bug.

So far as I can tell, all the issues are system related.  I will continue to review any films which anyone would like to submit, along with the DXDIAG output.

I have changed the title of the thread to be more reflective of what this is about.
