I was trying to record some videos of Max Payne last couple days and whenever I use Fraps the recording process is always choppy right after I hit the record button. Returns to normal if I hit the stop hotkey. Tried it with FSX, but it didn't seem to cause me any issues. So I figure, maybe it's a Max Payne issue. Here are my settings:

FPS: 25
Full Size
Record Sound checked
Detect best sound input
Sound Device: Vista Direct Stream (I use Windows 7, but whatever)
Sound Input: Stereo

Can't be related to my system specs but I'll list those too:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
4 GB DDR2 800 RAM
BFG GTX 280 OC
Windows 7 RC1 64-bit

Edit: After reading some stuff, I put the resolution down to 1280x768, half size, and the FPS I put to roughly the same amount that it would be if I were actually playing the game and it seemed to work flawlessly.
