Fraps lowering internal resolution

[DR PEPSI MAX MD]

I have a pretty great PC, and I like to run games at at least 4x their native resolution. However, when I try to record with Fraps, it seems like my resolution is being lowered.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Off the top of my head, when you open FRAPS, do you have "Full-Size" or "Half-Size" ticked under the "movies" tab? That could possibly be the problem right there.

if your recording key is "F9", it's normal since it switches pcsx2 to software mode.
remap your recording key to something else.

Well, if he's doing commentary as well as recording, FRAPS is a pretty handy do-all for that. As far as I'm aware, you can not do that with the PCSX2 recorder.

That would be it! Thanks.

To the other guys: I use Fraps because a) the internal recorder crashes PCSX half the time and b) even when it works, it makes everything run like garbage.
