Fraps Fraps Fraps !!!!

[oOParaOo]

I have been trying to convert fraps footage and get it on the dam final cut pro timepline in osx. mission impossible it seems, virtual dub helps with saving to the old style avi.
But its so frustrating, I was told ffmpegx was the saving grace... nope. When trying to convert the AVI to DV so I can use it i get this error :

Make sure that you supply exactly two streams:
video: 25fps or 29.97fps, audio: 2ch/48Khz/PCM
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?)

Looks like there is no support for the fraps codec?

Can anybody help me, PC vs MAC i thought those days were over.

DV only supports 720x480 at 29.97 fps, and 720x576 at 25 fps. So you can't convert a 960x540 source without resizing.

So what format should I convert? use virtualdub? dont bother? what setting to get bloody fraps on the mac timeline is so dam frustrating fraps uses a codec no body can bloody use, rip off.

I don't use FCP, but I believe it should import .mp4 files just fine.
So you could consider converting to .mp4 with ffmpegX...
