I got a couple of good Black Ops 2 games. I can't record with Fraps because it brings my Black Ops 2 fps from 62 to 20. It ends up getting recorded to a theater, but how do I export it out of theater, plz help.

Have you never heard of FRAPS, Bandicam etc?

Well you just recommend someone have access to a second computer and buy expensive capture card for one simple video clip when they can just install bandicam, FRAPS etc and record the clip, much easier solution.

Capture cards are clearly better but a bit overboard here.

You obviously didn't read the description, I can't use Fraps, Dxtory, Banidam (tried all), because they bring my FPS way too low, I run it an 60 fps and it brings it down to 20-30 fps, which is unplayable for me. I was thinking of getting a capture card, but they are just way to expensive.

You didnt say you had tried bandicam. I have junk hardware and fraps kills my performance too but bandicam i get a very small fps drop using xvid codec, not tested others. depending on your setup you can tweak it a bit to get better performance. if you can, also record to a HDD that isn't running the game or OS, not essential but helps.

That's impossible. Theater mode doesn't record anything, it just saves coordinates and actions (i.e. where people go, what they do etc.). You cannot export a video because there is no video file. You have to record it, either with a capture program (Fraps, Dxtory, etc.) or a second PC/laptop and a capture card or HDPVR.

Ok, but what I was thinking is if there was some way I can disable the theater mode HUD in black ops 2. If I disable that, I can record it with Fraps.

I haven't used theater mode in a while but by "HUD" you're referring to the rectangular box at the bottom of your screen? You can disable that with F3 or F4 by default (it tells you on screen) but this doesn't affect your computer's performance.

The thing is that you shouldn't have Fraps save the files to the same hard drive where Windows is installed. In order to maintain a stable frame rate, Fraps should be installed on hard drive #1 (the one where Windows is loctated) and save the video files to hard drive #2. If you play a game (=read data) and record (=save data) at the same time, things can get messy and hard drives don't really like that. The second HDD should also be pretty fast since Fraps saves raw footage which means the files are huge.

If you are going to upload it to YouTube, you only need to achieve 30 fps.
