Looks like your Video card has some really bad artifacts being displayed. That's usually from a video card just being old. Shows up during video playback.

So, it would look normal if it was sent to any of us?

EDIT: Try compressing it.

It would most likely look correct to us. But then again, it just maybe a problem that persists with him.


Yes, try to compress it under a different format. Or multiple formats and see what your video card can display without artifacts. Assuming that may be the problem.

I'm doing guesswork right here but try this:

Go to Volume Control and try to go to the Recording section. in XP there were options like "Hear What You Hear (or similar depending on sound card)" and "Microphone" etc...try to set it to "What You Hear" or however it's called.

I think you're right 'cause I have the sound device on "Microphone".

But can someone tell me in detail how to change that to "What You Hear" or whatever it's called?

get DivX, that will help with that if you don't already have it.

I am almost positive its not artifacts....Its a brand new vid card...It does have something to do with the fraps codec....i hope its not artifacts XD

It might be artifacts. But I hope it wouldn't be, as you say it's a new video card. That would totally suck. It would suck the map that I'm working on. Seriously.

Anyways, try downloading Xvid and Divx codecs.

I don't think they'd have a difference. And then again, the videos that FRAPs records are uncompressed... So... Uh, try compressing to another format. And let us know if you have any luck.

yea i was reading that the fraps codec has problems with the xfx geforce 7600 GT that I have so i guess fraps just wont work with me...I would just compress all of the files but I really don't want to go through all of the hassle......since its just with fraps its no big deal...

Here, instead of trying Fraps, have you tried other things?

This records your whole desktop, I haven't used it:

There's plenty of solutions, I guess you could try doing your own searches too. I'm usually the lazy one not to do search, but I half-assed it this time.

'thumbsup with your search, and endeavors. Let us all know what works and what might not.
