Fraps video recording question

[Celvantes]

Hey all, I'm trying to do some recordings of the FFXI cutscenes for posterity before quitting the game for good.

Just did a fresh install of FFXI on a new Windows 8 machine. I've got all the updates done, all the graphical SNAFUs fixed with a new video card diver, and Windower 4 is working well. Everything seemed peachy until I tried recording a video with FRAPS. As soon as I hit the record button, both POL and FFXI crashed.

This happened both with and without windower running, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. FRAPS itself works fine as well, the crash only happens when I hit the video hotkey.

Can any of you video makers point me in the right direction to getting this problem fixed?

Details:
OS: Windows 8
Video Card: Intel HD Graphics 4000
FRAPS Ver.: 3.5.99

Hey Celvantes, I'm just stopping in here to say hi!

Unfortunately I can't really offer any help to your situation, sorry. :/

I know you said FRAPS wasn't the issue, but you might want to try a different recording program anyway and see what happens. A popular free one is FFsplit.
