You might be brilliant at games but how to do you prove that to other gamers?
Fraps
can record videos of games that can then be shared with other people. It can
also be used to take screenshots and measure the performance of a computer.
Installation is simple, although Fraps does not install into the Program
Files folder by default. Only a minor annoyance, but it could lead to confusion
later on.
This unregistered version leaves a watermark (an image) along the top of the
video and will only record up to 30 seconds. Screenshots are limited to BMP
format. The full version can also save screenshots in Jpeg, PNG and TGA.
The first use for Fraps was to measure the frames per second performance of
computers; how many times the screen is updated in the game. Thirty frames per
second is considered a minimum for enjoying games. Fraps displays this figure in
a corner of the screen so you can see how the computer is performing.
