I thought of a way to make fraps recording avis maybe go faster?

 

I have 2 computers on a network…possibly if I use the network to write the .avi , including maybe ‘half’ of it with a custom program (some to local disk, some to other computer’s disk over lan)

 

then the other computer is workin, mine is just sending out more packets, shouldn’t affect the inet speed since the lan is much faster, either 100mbits or 1gbit or 10gb not sure lol probably 1,000 mbits like french inet and my cable is like 26 mbits down 4 up, therefore I could probably save it good on the other computer and compress/upload/edit it from there

 

easiest way maybe is to share a drive on the other pc, so they might both have a z: or h: , the drive is local to the dual core nongaming, and a network share mount with win7 on the other, then set fraps save dir to h: or z: folder

 

although I still wanna write one…possibly in c++ is just the ‘memcpy()’ function, the screen buffer pointer to that as one param, the other an array that is big and has to be saved…

 

including tricks like saving every third frame sometimes, and all them other times

 

c++ maybe I do this one first since it maybe works good…could even use d2d or old libs….including the c std lib perhaps…along with some c++ add-ons for file formats or etc too
