From Fraps:
“The maximum resolution for Half-size capture is 2560×1600. Full-size video capture is limited to a maximum of 1152×864 (4:3) or 1280×800 (widescreen). If Full-size is selected and the game is set to a resolution higher than the maximum, Fraps will automatically switch to Half-size when recording”
It does scaling for “Half-Size” and guessing it doesn’t look good.
Folks are suggesting using a Blackmagic card so you can output from from your DX graphics card at 1440x1080p HD and plug that into the capture card on another system.
Not sure which graphics card you have, but not all can easily be set to output at 1440x1080p. I have to fiddle with that on my nVidia 8800GTS to make that work at most HD resolutions.
That being the case I would start by getting your system to output 1440x1080p.
Note that not all Blackmagic HD capture cards can do 1080p capture (I think the Intensity is 1080i only) so research out which card to use or I’m sure some helpful folks here will have suggestions.
I use component output from the nVidia to a Decklink HD Extreme.

Just making sure my last post was clear on the issue and if there is anything you would like me to test further to resolve this issue?

With the Decklink installed and shutting down WinXP, the system will appear to shutdown but the system does not power off.
The display goes blank, but the CPU Fan, case fans, and hard drives do not shut off.
If I remove the Decklink card from the system, it does shutdown and power off.
I have tried this on a ASUS P5K-E, Abit IP35-Pro, and DFI P35 LT now with a fresh install on WinXP SP2 with updates on each.
With the Decklink card installed without drivers the system shutdowns normally.
However, after installing the 6.4.4 drivers and verifying the Decklink is operational, the system will not power off.
Again, removing the Decklink card at this stage allows the system to power off.
I have checked the “wake” options for the wake by device in all of the systems BIOS and they are disabled.

So I take it this isn’t a built in supported feature.
May I ask what the conflict with the Matrox APVe and BM Decklink cards are?
ALL Matrox cards are being listed as incompatible but is this due to no testing done, software or hardware conflict?
I only ask about the Matrox as it’s the only card on the market that allows dual head DVI with a third separate Video Out for this purpose. And it works.
ATI Theater Mode and Nvidia’s equivalent have had some long standing bugs and only provide a single monitor + video out capability.

So I take it this isn’t possible with the current drivers/software from BM.
If this is true, what is the conflict with the Matrox APVe ?

I had tried searching before posting the same question and didn’t see your post at first.
Wondering if you found a way to do this?
It was a feature of my Matrox APVe that I really found useful.
BM emphatically claims that Matrox video cards are not compatible with Decklink so my Decklink system was setup without one.
I had assumed the incompatibilities might be due to conflicts of the same feature we are looking for.
Matrox used a DirectShow filter that automatically came up in the graph whenever a video was being rendered. The only caveats where that some colorspaces were not valid for the Matrox filter.
With that I was able to use MPC, VLC, WinAmp, Media Player, Nuendo, and a few other players/applications to output the video to either an HD or SD monitor (Composite, S-Video, Component) simultaneously.
Looking to do the same with a Decklink HD Extreme through the Y/C outputs.

Ah! New drivers are available.
I’ll check them out. Thanks. -
Sorry, I guess I can’t edit the post.
