Fraps (derived from frames per second) is a popular screen capture and screen recording tool for Windows OS. It is widely used by gamers who like to record and share their gaming success or tips and tricks. The program operates on Win XP or later versions.

The software was launched for the 1st time 14 years ago, on the 25th of August 1999 by Beepa Pty Ltd.

Fraps comes in two versions: a paid fully-functional one and a free one with limitations. The free version allows users to capture 30 seconds clips and puts a watermark on them.

Of course, the paid version lets record game clips without time-restrictions.

In the earlier versions, Fraps could not save files bigger than 4GB. Thus a huge recording was automatically divided into parts. So you had to use an editor to unite them.

Unfortutaltuy, Fraps media comes with a proprietary Fraps codec that is not supported by the majority of computer players, websites, and editing software. At the same time, it's rather difficult to keep extra large Fraps recordings on a hard drive. For example, a 4-minute file in HD might occupy up to 4Gb of free space. Thus if you don't want to overload your PC with such files, you'd better transcode them to lighter ones. After that, you can add files to your portable gadget, watch on TV or share online.
