Capture a movie from a video game?

Hi right now I use a program called Fraps to capture screens/movies from video games. I notice that capturing a movie from a 1st person game is much faster than capturing a movie from a racing game. In a raceing game I can only get a 5-10 framrate with the lowest graphical settings. I have a P4 3.2 and a Radeon 9800 pro!!!

I was wondering if there was a more efficient program out there that can capture gameplay movies from video games better than fraps. (So I can finnaly make a movie of a racing game)

Thanks to any suggestions.

I tried this and it captures non-game application well, but there is no way to change the size it captures and it is stuck on 5fps.

It's all about harddrive and memory speed..

Hard Drive and Memory? I thought it was Processor and Video Card?

So there is no game capturing apps out there that is more efficient than fraps?

Does your vid card not have SVGA or VIDEO out? Mine does... I simply plug that through to the DVD Recorder and viola! Fragkill!!!
