Alright, so what I have been doing is using fraps to record video from the blackmagic intensity for 2 reasons, the file size is a lot smaller, and it will actually record sound. I have to push record from the media express program, then start recording with fraps, so I can minimize the screen, so what ends of happening is I record 2 video files at once so its taking up a lot of extra space AND using up my cpu. I was wondering if their was a way I could record with fraps while having the media express program minimized and not on record mode. Is there any program that I can use that will display video directly from the capture card with out any record features? sorry if this sounds confusing.

Why not use the included Black Magic software? Why fraps?

troubleshoot your audio issues and learn to use the included software
there options which allow you to encode at lower bit rates, or with compression, for smaller files -
Well, can you tell me where those options are? I can record in compressed jpg but it still eats a lot of space, and it still lags. I don't really care about having the quality lower, I use it mostly just for proof of winning for gamebattles. The quality with fraps isn't that bad either, I just want to be able to record with fraps while having the program minimized

i am trying to get ahold of my friend who uses both of these programs (not at the same time) for your answers
until then, can you not use the first program to display (monitor) the game video without having to record? i know my CC will preview to screen without needing to press the record button - then you would only have to record from fraps
i do something similar (live broadcasts of game play) - i use my CC software to display the video on screen, then use CamTwist to capture and upload the video
if quality is not important (lores .flv) you could also stream your video to ustream.tv or justin.tv, and have your broadcast recorded by them - that way you would have no overhead, and your friends could watch you play live -
my friend said he stopped using fraps when he got his Blackmagic card and basically repeated what i posted earlier
he said without seeing your entire setup he could offer no more advice
EDIT: sorry i forgot to ask, my friend asked if you wanted the fraps window minimized, or the media express, it is not clear from your post -
Okay I use the intensity to record the xbox 360, I have a hdmi splitter, with one hdmi going to the intensity, and one hdmi going to my monitor. I want to be able to record with fraps while having the media express program minimized. The only way I am able to do it is if I hit record in the media express program and then start to record with fraps to be able to minimize it.

1. Does your computer meet any of the specific requirements for the black magic intensity pro?
- I had mine on an older system but it still performed nearly flawless.
2. The suggestion of using the blackmagic to record from the preview window makes no sense to me - even for your audio issues. You could have probably saved a lot of money and just bought a cheaper capture box like pinnacle or something.
