FRAPS avi compatibility

Submitted by stlava on Sun, 10/05/2008 - 11:49

I want to use badaboom to compress my FRAPS videos but it currently does not support (FRAPS) codec which I think is just raw avi.

I had used badaboom to convert a fraps file previously, but I got an error message this time, saying the Pixel format, BGR24, was not supported in this version. are you going to add support? Or is this a glitch? As I said it was able to convert one of the files before, but now it won't, I'm a little uncertain as to why this happened, but I'm looking for a solution.

With the release of Badaboom

With the release of Badaboom version 1.1.1, Fraps 32 bit and lower is officially supported. You're not seeing a glitch, Fraps encodes in a different codec completely when capturing 64 bit games so when you try and run them through Badaboom, it gives that "BGR24" error. It's been flagged since the release and we're working on supporting 64 bit fraps videos as well.

Thanks! - Kelly S

Re: FRAPS avi compatibility

We are working on additional file inputs and they will be ready for our next version update shortly--extensions that fraps supports is on that list.

no response?

It's been some time and still no response..

However, I've done some research and it seems that FPS1 (the fraps codec) uses YUV420. I'd like to know from a dev if badaboomit will be able to support fps1.
