Kinda off-topic as it's not an SWG issue, but I wasn't sure where else to put this. I've put in tickets with FRAPS & Adobe, but I figured I'd get responses a lot quicker here.

Premiere can't load the avis I'mrecording with FRAPS. I've read sketchy reports of many people experiencing this problem (some can load it, but can't edit it after they get it into premiere, others say thepremiere justcrashes, and I get a file error). Someone said Premiere doesn't support the weird codec that FRAPS uses, so I tried converting it to a different codec using VirtualDub. Still no good. Whatever is in the FRAPS file that Premiere doesn't like is still getting transferred over. Perhaps it's theresolution? (1024x768 is kinda ridiculous for an avi file no matter how fast your system is) Unfortunately, VirtualDub doesn't support image resampling, soI can't test that theory. Any recommendations?

I use Fraps and Premier and the only thing I can think of is the file size after Fraps has recorded some footage, I usually compress it a little with VirtualDub before passing it along to Premier.

In my experience Premier has problems dealing with extremely large file sizes and usually throws a fit, try compressing it a little or converting to .MPEG, also go have a look at VirtualDubMod, I don't use it myself but it may give you some more options.

I'm not exactly sure what your meaning here but if your talking about the fps display you can set Fraps to remove it automatically so it doesn't appear in the final video.

There's a new update for Fraps released today (does widescreen now) so installing the new version might help or if you still want to use the old one try reinstalling anyway. Fraps uses the standard Micro$oft avi codec (uncompressed) so I dunno why it's not playing ball with your system.

What other program have you found?

Yeah, I was trying Vdub, tried recompressing it to a number of different codecs, low quality, high quality, but nothing worked. As for Vdubmod, it crashed during attempted conversion. Found something else that works though, now if I could just get the "unregistered" text to go away.
