You can even choose various compression CODECs (compressor/decompressors) such as MPEG, XviD, and more. Dxtory and Bandicam allowed unlimited trial version recording (with large watermarks embedded) so they were perfect adversaries for my purchased version of FRAPS.ĭxtory and Bandicam are both newer competitors in the game recording market, showing up in 20 and as such, seemed to take more advantage of modern hardware processing capabilities. For instance, both Dxtory and Bandicam offer recording compression on-the-fly. Other utilites such as ZDsoft's Game Recorder only allows 60-second recordings in it's trial version and I wanted to test longer recordings, since one of the problems many people are having (including myself) is with the audio and video going out of synchronization over longer game captures *coughfrapscough*. I wanted to include MSI's Afterburner with its capture utility, but at this time I could not get it working with my Gigabyte Mainboard and ASUS videocard. For this TestRun then, I am pitting FRAPS against other screen recording tools, Dxtory and Bandicam.

Whats better fraps or bandicam
