When I record footage with Bandicam my frame rates are in between 30-60, which is smooth as far as I'm concerned, but when I playback the captured footage via VLC Media Player and/or Windows Media Player, the footage is choppy at best. It looks pretty bad, especially for a program that I paid about $40 for. When I playback the footage that I have captured with fraps, it is very smooth. Not the least bit choppy. Also I wanted to point out that I don't have fraps installed on my PC at this time either. I actually stopped using it and switched to Bandicam because it utilizes the cores on the CPU better and the compression is better than fraps as well. The choppy playback footage is not cool though and I would appreciate and help that you can offer.
Thank you.
