Okay, that's good to know!

That's what I thought, although I suppose Smoothlevels is a little slower.

As a sidenote, it would be good have a Wikipedia article about the Ut codec, that's where I was looking for info on different lossless codecs.

Capturing in RGB avoids all that.

Just another reason to try and avoid Fraps. RGB capturing seems ok though, but I think most systems and especially HDDs can't handle it at 1080p.
Edit: Doing some checkup on Lagarith, it does seem that the codec has had development not
too long ago, back in last december. Reading the changelog, there seems to have been major optimizations, such as multithreading and SSE2. So it might not be so slow after all? Anyway, probably best to do some testing and compare both Lagarith and Ut.
