Video game recording, screenshot capturing and benchmarking software sees major update

If you're nuts about screenshotting your PC game sessions like us, you've certainly heard of the popular video game screenshot and recording software FRAPS. While WeGame does about the same job and is free, it doesn't support every title like FRAPS, or have benchmarking capabilities. In any case, it's a very well-built, minimalistic program that gets the job done.

FRAPS gets even better today with the major 3.0.0 update, bringing with it a new look, Ventrilo and TeamSpeak support, Windows 7 compatibility, NVIDIA 3D Vision support (yep, you can record in 3D now), and more.

Hit up the source to grab the latest version.

    You'd need a capture device for input from the PS3.

    Console capture devices are very expensive, unfortunately, at least decent ones.

    Uncharted 2 has a built-in feature for it; I'm hoping this will encourage support for it across all console games, cause it's really fun...great community feature.

    That reminds me: I need to re-download this program after installing Win7.

    How much does this version cost? Fraps is decent, but most ingame recorders can do the same (and more) as Fraps, and they're free. Source Recorder is amazing, really.

    Isn't fraps the free version? I know that Camtasia is better than Fraps, but Camtasia is expensive.

    Oh yes, FRAPS has a free version, but you're limited to 30 second watermarked videos, so it's basically just a trial.

    ...$37, steep >_<

    I have an older version and it serves me well, no need for me to upgrade TBH.

    Updates are free.
    $37 is nothing considering it's a powerful program you could use for life.

    Actually, couldn't you just get a tunner card and record console vids to PC? I'm not sure if it works on next gen platforms but it does work with ps2

    No reason why not. It's entirely possible to hook up current platforms to a monitor...pain in the arse, though.

    Yeah, but you have to buy it, get it on your computer (assuming you have a free slot for it), and then you'll likely have to deal with mediocre quality captures. I haven't heard very good things about current capture card video quality TBH.
