Fraps (derived from Frames per second) is a benchmarking, screen capture and video capture utility for DirectX and OpenGLapplications (such as games) for Windows computers. The Windows Vista and Windows 7 desktop can be captured if an Aerotheme is used.
Fraps will record video at high resolution, if the computer is sufficiently powerful. The maximum supported resolution is currently 7680×4800[2].
Fraps utilizes a specialized codec which has been optimized for performance over compression ratio. In order to play back Fraps video files, the Fraps program, or alternatively the ffdshow codec, must be installed on the computer. Due to the low compression and resulting large file sizes, the videos must be transcoded to a more highly compressed format such as H.264 before the recorded videos can be played back smoothly on most media players.
Since version 3.5.0, Fraps included the ability to generate videos as one huge physical file. Prior to this update, all Fraps footage was split at around 4GB and the separated videos would have to be joined at the transcoding stage. However, for backwards compatibility, there is a small option in 3.5.0 which still allows users to use the old recording method of splitting videos into 4GB chunks.
Since version 3.0, Fraps has supported DirectX 11 and Windows 7.
The trialware (unregistered) version of Fraps is identical to the registered version, except for a watermark at the top of every video, and a 30 second video length limit. Screenshots are not watermarked in the free version but can only be taken in the BMP format.
