You'll need a really good system to use dumpframes efficiently. It brings my fps down to 1-5 on my P4 1.8 + 9800 Pro and the final clip comes out really choppy.

ps make sure you are lowering your ingame res to 648x480 when you are using dumpframes.

Moreso, I would attribute that problem to a slow or unresponsive hard drive.
Use a 7200 RPM to write to if you use dumpframes, preferrably a 10000 RPM drive on SATA or SCSI, but I doubt you could afford that.
I capture on 800 and resize later, it produces a much higher quality output. In an ideal world, you'd capture 2x the size of your final copy.
The way the dumpframes system makes this very difficult in UT2K4, though.

Please explain why?
I have dumped loads of frags in highest res, and it looks okay to me :|

might look ok to YOU, but i tested quality settings for many weeks for noescape 2, and found that was optimal, and if theres one thing I see everyone seems to agree on, its that the visual quality of NE2 was good.

Yeah that movie had great quality.
I just thought there was some explanation as to WHY it was better.

It is better because it ups the FPS of the demo. Usually demos are only recorded at minimal FPS, dumpframes baically makes it higher.

There is by default a cap at 30 fps for demoplayback unless you change it in the ini, so I dont see how lowering resolution should get you higher.
By using dumpframes+highest res. you can record at 60 fps (almost 100% stable).
I see your point if you are making the video from a low spec pc, but otherwise....I dont.
