Are there any Fraps alternatives out there to record gameplay footage?

  • CamStudio is out, since it's impossible to record gameplay footage with consistent and fluid fps
  • WeGame records in very bad quality
  • Xfire is out, since it only records in mono sound

So far I've listed perhaps the most widely used ones. Are there really no alternatives out there?

  • @NoCanDo: It would be helpful to know why Fraps isn't in the running.

  • @boot13: Uhm...because I'm looking for Fraps alternatives? I already have Fraps.

    @NoCanDo: If we knew what it was about Fraps you don't like, we could avoid suggesting alternatives with the same characteristics.

    Asking a question just for the sake of asking it is kind of useless. If a program does everything you want, why look for alternatives? What do you get out of it?

  • This is by far the best alternative I've found. I can suggest it to everybody. Otherwise there's Dxtory.

You may try the open-source Taksi (attention: last release date is 2006):

Taksi is a utility that allows you to take screenshots and record video clips of your favourite games and other 3D-graphics applications. Inspired by Fraps (www.fraps.com), Taksi aims to provide an open source alternative to that great tool.

  • Yea, I came across this. But like you said, its from 2006, and my programming skills aren't THAT good yet.

  • I did, and like I said Taksi is old not mantained anymore. As for the other list, there's a few I'll check out.
