Fraps 3.1.0
Fraps is a universal Windows application that can be used with games using DirectX or OpenGL graphic technology. In its current form Fraps performs many tasks and can best be described as:
Benchmarking Software – Show how many Frames Per Second (FPS) you are getting in a corner of your screen. Perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points. Save the statistics out to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications.
Screen Capture Software – Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There’s no need to paste into a paint program every time you want a new shot. Your screen captures are automatically named and time stamped.
Real-time Video Capture Software – Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favorite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560×1600 with custom frame rates from 10 to 120 frames per second!

Review:
With Fraps you can easily record everything that happens on your PC screen. Useful if you create video tutorials or reviews of different programs.
Resident in memory, Fraps is loaded in the background and is activated with a few shortcuts: F9 starts recording snippets of video and audio, while F10 brings high-quality screenshots.
In addition, Fraps analyzes the graphics performance of your computer. In a corner of your desktop a window containing information regarding the frequency of the images that make up the game you are playing. You can also save statistics to use them in your articles. Fraps is reliable, fully configurable and you can get good quality video. However, if your goal is simply capture what happens on the screen of your PC, I recommend you to try some other similar like Camtasia Studio that also save movies in Flash, ensuring a smaller file size.
Your captures are automatically named and dated. Same happens with real-time video capture. Fraps takes care of everything. It is able to capture audio and video with a resolution up to 2560×1600 and 10 to 120 frames per second!
Ideal for capturing your virtual prowess to play.
