I Fraps'd a bunch of clips in bf2 at 1280x1024@60fps. I'd like to play them back just for previews. Windows Media Player plays real slow at about 20 fps, VLC doesn't play them at all, and Media Player Classic plays for a few seconds, then begins to slow down and stutter. I've tried changing renderers on MPC but it doensn't help any.

Try updating your codecs. I seem to remember trying to play FRAPs video and it would appear outside the media player (top of the video on the left, bottom of the video on the right, lolwut).

Stab in the dark, but try recoding it first.

Well I have about 87 individual .avi files and they're all named BF2 ###-###-###-###.avi. I'd like to go through them and see which ones are worth keeping.

Thanks for explaining your problem again.

Now, are you going to try something (or perhaps provide feedback on the results) or just say "something's wrong" every time someone says "try this?"

You mean reencoding? Which would take days and ruin the quality of all my clips? Sorry does not sound like an efficient solution. I have the latest version of Fraps which uses the fraps codec, so that is up to date.

Yeah, it probably would if you've got a lot of footage. So, you know, instead of recoding all of it, try a single minute long section recoded to see if it works.

If it does work, and no one can find anything else, you've got your solution no matter how inefficient it can be.

Try Winamp. It tends to be friendly towards Fraps videos.

Otherways, just re-encode them. The Fraps codec is pixel-precise, and is known to be both tough and buggy to playback. Encoding to high-quality MPEG4 won't do any harm.

And 1280x1024 isn't HD

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Windows Media Player hates big files, and FRAPS vids come out at about 4GB each which makes them stutter in WMP. Download VLC Media Player instead, handles the files much better.

It's "HD ready" resolution and some more. The only realHD is 1920x1xx0

None of that is true.

There is no such thing as HD ready resolution. There are HD ready displays, but the term is very non-specific. Anything above 1280x720 is HD.

Well it will be "HD resolution" kinda, turn it into 1280x720. Also, I can't get it to open in VLC.

Nevermind I got a nightly build from VLC and it works after letting the video load for a few seconds.
