No warez here, I guess. If you're dedicated enough, you'd find it. Might be easier to just buy it though. It's a good program.

ok ty for the help
There are other ways of getting it for free, torrents, .rar files etc. But to make sure it does work I guess buying it is the easier option.
On another note:
Anyway, people I'm making a infantry video (NO SNIPING THIS TIME) which will be on the forums in about 2 days.

You can get it illegally but don't post links on these forums.
[cough]torrent[cough]
I downloaded it free from Limewire
But my pc suck so it doesn't work very well..

People put a lot of time and hard work into these programs, buy the stupid things you cheap bastards. I don't think you would be very happy if you started having to work for free.
Thats why im not going to work in the software industry.
I've been writing software since the VIC-20 (started when I was 10) and I can tell you it is not exactly an easy task to hook into the DirectX and OpenGL pageflip routines in order to capture and then output the data to disk in avi form. If it was there would be tonnes of Fraps clones out there.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

With that said I would like to see them add Huffy tables (fast & lossless compression) at least to lower the file sizes.
On the topic of Fraps, does the program typically strain your processor, video card, or ram the most? In other words, which is most important to have a lot of power in to run it?
Hard Drive then CPU.Not wrote:

The CPU has to execute the hooking routines and pull the front buffer in as a BMP. Then the CPU needs to append that data to the avi file on the drive. The drive gets seriously stressed if you use anything above 800x600 as it is a huge amount of data for each frame.
As an example, a 1024x768x24 uncompressed image is 1.8 MB in size (Don't try it in Paint or Photoshop because it uses RLE compression which isn't the same). So your drive needs to write 1.8 MB 30 times a second or 54MB/sec. That is why most Fraps captures are GBs in size.
Ah ok, thanks a lot man, makes sense.
