Part 1: What is Fraps software used for <\/strong><\/h2>\n
Windows users may or may not have the chance to use Fraps depending on whether they ever try this software. Technically, Fraps is a benchmarking, screen capture, and screen recording utility for Windows developed by Beepa. It can capture from software that uses DirectX and OpenGL, such as PC games.<\/p>\n
More specifically, using Fraps, you can capture any video from any website to create your movies or videos. It is a capture program allowing users to capture screens and videos with high quality, which on the other hand, does not give it enough time to compress the recording in the meantime. Hence Fraps videos usually come in large file size and are saved in .avi formats. The large file size is mostly due to the fact that we record or capture videos or screens in high resolution. We need a third-party video converter to compress Fraps videos if we really want to share them with others quickly.<\/p>\n
