Alternatives to Fraps

Open Broadcaster Software

Full-featured screen recording and live streaming software for Mac, Windows and Linux.
- It can record and stream video in games, applications, and on the desktop. Shujin • Aug 2015 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees
- OBS is first and for most a Live Streaming Software. While it is far more flexible it does not come with the ease of use a dedicated screen recorder does. Guest • Jun 2018 • 6 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Very nice, for free, opensource Guest • Mar 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- OBS support screen or individual window recording, just like Fraps Guest • Aug 2015 • 4 agrees and 2 disagrees
- While the primary function of OBS is broadcasting, it can be used (albeit with a little difficulty) as a screen recorder. Guest • Aug 2015
- Not a 'complete' alternative tough Guest • Jul 2015
