Don't use FRAPS. Plain and simple.

^ What he said ^

Why use that crap when you can easily record demos?

Confusious say: Man who gets game crashed from FRAPS should learn to live without it.

Of course Confusious also say: man who has trouble with women should learn to live without them, so what the hell does he know! :E

how do you turn demos into avi files?

how do you turn demos into avi files?

Short version:
make sure you have a few gigs of free space.
playdemo <name>
startmovie <name>

that creats a .wav and lots of tga files. Then load them up into Videomach and set the right settings and go.

Sounds like you need to calculate the right FPS. Open up your .wav in Media player or something and see how long it is and count how many .tga images have been saved and do
Total frames divided by Total Time to get your frames per second to use. Mine worked out as 9.6.

Also try doing video size(resize) as 640 x 480 and use a decent video codec such as dvx of xvid.
