On another game I play, which is a fullscreen program, fraps makes it slightly laggy. It didn't used to be this way, so I'm not sure why it is now. My biggest beef with fraps is that now that it's laggy, any time I try to pot (heal) in PVP, it has lag and I can't spam it like I can without fraps being on. But I need the clips for videos... so I need to be able to pot normally too so I stop dying.

 

How can I make fraps run faster?

 

PS. I've recorded a bunch of my video in full-size and 60fps already. If settings need to be changed will the clips look different from then on?

Fraps generally does that - even on the best computers. Post your specs?

You should be able to get HQ video with 30 or even 24 FPS. Should boost preformance a bit.

Lower the quality to 75-80% (This will not affect the quality a GREAT deal)

 

Also, lower the FPS it records at to 24-30fps, the human eye can't see images faster than around this amount, so it's pointless having it record any faster, it's just eating up resources you could be using to prevent being KO'ed :)
