Fraps is by far one of the worst game recording programs now. It throttles game fps to match what it is recording at. It jumps in framerate in intervals of 15 if it can't keep up. It uses a ton of hdd space. Hell you might as well be recording in lossless if you have that much hdd space. Fraps is just so bad compared to more modern recording programs. Not to mention it has a Large Performance Hit when used.

These are all better options that can provide high quality recordings at lower hdd space usage with the proper setup and codec.
A codec for people who want high quality with low hdd space is x264vfw.
A codec for people who want maximum quality with large hdd space that can read/write fast or have an ssd is Lagarith Lossless.
