Q1: When importing Eve fraps footage into Pinnacle studio 8 i have a slight problem. The footage is working fine in the preview box, however when u place it into a movie it simply appears blank (black background, music continuing in the background etc.). Anyone any idea as to why this is happening? I have fraps version 2.0.
Q2: Hello, I have the bought version of fraps and Pinnacle studio ultimate HD. The problem is, I can record at full size just fine and everything. But when I throw the videos into pinnacle, the video becomes just horrible. You can't even see whats going on. I have used virtual dub to try and convert the videos using xvid codec and so on but when I put it into pinnacle it's still horrible quality. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Q3: I'm having some trouble with Pinnacle. Perhaps you can give some advice.I made a short videoclip using Fraps 2.9.1 and then tried to edit it with Pinnacle Studio 10.5. If I have understood correctly you should do the editing with the "raw material", which in this case is the large avi. file Fraps produces. The problem is that I can't see the avi.file in Pinnacle's edit mode. Do you have any idea what could be wrong here?
Fraps is a type of program called a "hook". It works by accessing the DirectX frame buffers and copying the front buffer to an AVI stream. However, when you import or load the .avi files that recorded with fraps you will have troubles as above.
Although Pinnacle Studio 12.0 and higher can import AVI format as it official claimed, Pinnacle Studio will not accept the .avi files captured by Fraps. As Fraps AVI video is not supported well by Pinnacle, you have to transcode Fraps AVI files to a Pinnacle more friendly MPEG-2 format to solve the importing issues.
