Publisher's description

From Beepa :

Fraps is a generic tool for DirectX and OpenGL games.

In its current form, it performs many tasks, including benchmarking (see how many frames per second you're getting in a corner of your screen; perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points; save statistics to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications); screen capturing (take a screenshot with the press of one key, with no need to paste into a paint program every time you want to capture; your screen captures also are automatically named and time-stamped); and real-time video capturing (record audio and video while playing your favorite game at up to 1,024x768 resolution at 30 frames per second).

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed 64-bit applications crashing soon after loading.
  • Fixed low quality sound recording with Left 4 Dead under Windows XP.
  • Fixed graphic corruption in X-Plane (and other OpenGL titles).
  • Fixed crash when recording a DirectX 9 game and changing resolution.
  • Fixed Fraps not detecting games after being run at Windows startup.
  • Fixed hotkeys not responding when Alt held down.
  • Fixed monitoring of Vista DWM after a full-screen application... see all new features

    "Awsome Game Recorder"

    by drkstr87 on July 22, 2009

    Pros: Easy to . I recommend everyuse even for someone new to recordingone to read the manual before trying different setting and configuration since it will give the full benefits of the product. Will recommend Fraps to anyone.

    Cons: Well it not really a con but Fraps does take up alot of space but that understand since it record in real-time. While you are recording and playing your favorite game you could see your fps drop a bit but not to point where you start noticing lag.

    Summary: Overall I'm very happy with this product. I'm kinda new to the whole recording thing but this product made it so easy that I can manage and improve my recording skills. Like I said there not really a cons in this product and I'm sure Fraps team will... read more >>

    "Works fine"

    by bw1111 on March 24, 2009

    Pros: works well,captures at same quality as whatever your seeing. The frame rate needs to be adjusted to the same as what your seeing it helps alot. Try 30 fps to start most programs are 30 fps. It is not spyware and I have been using it for a long time.

    Cons: Although fraps will record in "real-time" , it's usage of space is very high due to the fact it is recording without compressing. recommended you save files on an extra harddrive for conversion using something like windows movie maker to compress.

    Summary: A great program, remember the 30 second record is only for the limited trial. Obviously you need to buy to get full benifit. I reccomend this product,its around 30$ whereas something like Adobe's Captivate is 700$+.

    Pros: Gets the whole game recorded no matter the resolution
    Keeps the quality almost the same... a little less but I don't reallly mind.

    Cons: Gets real choppy at points

    "good, but spyware"

    by meneldor on February 12, 2009

    Pros: Very nice program, easy to use, can make good vids and have some fun with it.

    Cons: Known as a spyware-threat and your game account can be easily hijacked if you use this program. Use with caution, i suggest a good firewall and antivirus against threats.

    Summary: Use it with caution, have fun!
