D3DGear

Although I do not agree with the other person about Fraps D3DGear is in fact a great program which is offered as its own program or on Steam for those who have steam accounts. I need to add that this is one of my lifetime sponsors in which I promote in exchange for free use of their program both normal & Steam versions. I do not promote things I have not tested or used myself, and I never promote things I do not like or find to be shady in any way. D3DGear also has great customer service & support & they do their best to get back to you in a reasonable amount of time unlike some other companies now days that make you wait insane amounts of time to get help or support. There are a lot of great features with D3DGear as well as the option to include your webcam image while you stream or make videos. Its a small & simple to use app. They do offer a trial version on their website if you would like to test & try it before you invest in it.

Fraps is a god awful program. Get D3DGear. It's so fantastic. It works infinitely better than Fraps ever could. I used fraps for yeeeeears until I found D3DGear and dropped it immediately. I've recorded quite a lot already and it looks great. Oh and D3Dgear is also WAY less resource intensive.
