Need new ideas to Capture Video game footage at high quality

[APFable]

I am essentially trying to capture video gaming footage, Fraps does not work, the file format keeps corrupting for some reason.

I have tried, Hypercam, Wegame, Playclaw, Camstudio, Snagit, but they all do not record without being very choppy.

As for my system its decent;

Intel Corei7 920
6x1gb OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600
EVGA X58 mobo
EVGA GTX260 x 2 SLI
Western Digital 1TB x 2 Raid Striped
Resolution 1680x1050
Windows 7 RC1

Im up for ideas, the cheaper the better.

get a video card with a line out and run it into a dvd homedeck recorder

Fraps should work, and your system should be more than adequate as to not drop frames. What do you mean by corrupting? It might be a W7 issue. I would check their forum for W7 compatibility

I am not sure why Fraps does not work. Using Gspot to see if there is anything wrong with my system vs. the output file this is what i get;

Corrupt AVI header (click for details)

Details: This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely playable

Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 192 at file offset 0x00000010

That is the error I get, furthermore, When I load it into Virtual Dub it does load but before it shows the video a little box pops up and says "Reconstructing Index Block"

@ Mazinz

what particularly would be the line out? HDMI DVI ?
