Film viewer stuttering

[PuppetZ]

So as the title say, I have a problem with the film viewer. Since we got F4U's in FSO this month, I figured I'd make another movie. So I fire up Fraps, AH film viewer and begin to create some shots. I soon realised that when I record the shots with fraps, the planes are jumping all over the place. With fraps off, it's less obvious but there is still the occasional shudder.

I tried closing as many apps as I could, shut down a bunch of process and windows services, changed the ingame video settings(I figured that it somehow controlled how the image looks in AHFV), to no avail.

Anyone got any suggestions? I ran out of idea here....

Thanks

I assume you have set the film viewer to run in "full screen" view?

Are you running iTunes?  Any anti-xxxx software?  Check the Windows task manager, with nothing running on the desktop.  Under the "Processes" tab, check the CPU usage percentage.  It should never bounce any higher than 1% and when it hits 1%, it should be very brief, than back to 0%.

No, not full screen. Fraps is intelligent enough as to only record what's interesting.

No iTunes. I run Microsoft security essentials(although for testing purposes I did disable it's real time protection, but did not remove it altogether), Right now on the desktop, CPU usage is mostly a flatline with the occasional jump to 1% and back.

I tried disabling some more graphics options to the point I only have detailed terrain and detailed water left ticked in advanced options. Still having troubles.

Run the film viewer in full screen mode.  DirectX requires a bunch more CPU time when you run it in 'windowed' mode.  See if that helps.

Necro bump.

I'm having the same issues, only it's not with every film.  I've been messing around with random film clips lately and some seem to record just fine, while others have very repeatable stutters in the same places in the film.  The issue seemed to be happening when recording footage around water, but turning detailed water off didn't help.  I had been recording in full screen anyway, but there doesn't seem to be a difference with the stuttering.

Where it stutters also seems odd to me.  In one film, it stutters twice at the top of a loop with only one plane in view, but plays smoothly when the other plane appears and the guns fire.
