Trial limitations: The free trial limits recording time to 30 seconds, disables loop recording, saves screenshots in BMP format, and adds a watermark. Movies can record Windows, stereo, or multichannel sound, as well as external inputs.

Movies: Video capture settings include common and custom frame rates, full and half size frames, loop buffer length, and the option to split movies every 4GB of recording capacity - just enough for a DVD. We could set the software to stop benchmarking after a specific number of seconds, hide overlays, and configure other options. Hotkeys: Fraps includes many hotkey options, such as Benchmarking and Overlay hotkeys. Screen Capture settings: We could add frame rate overlays to screenshots and set Fraps to capture screenshots at specific intervals until the Screen Capture hotkey is pressed, making Fraps a serviceable security or monitoring app. Updates include support for AVI files larger than 4GB. It can save screenshots as BMP, JPG, PNG, or TGA files, with optional frame rate overlays and repeat screen capture. It captures onscreen video and audio, adds timestamps and counters, and benchmarks frames per second, frame times, and minimum-maximum average. Fraps records and benchmarks video in real time from DirectX and OpenGL games and applications.
