Latest Version 2.9.0 of Fraps has just been released.
According to the Fraps 2.9.0 Release Notes this is what’s new.
“Fraps release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10 games. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now all fully supported for these titles.”
With more DX10 games coming to store shelves, it will be good to see some more DX10 game video coming online.“ Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. Fraps can take advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. This allows you to capture in-game audio even if you are using a USB headset or other audio device which does not normally support a “Stereo Mix” or “What U Hear” recording input.”
This is very good to hear.
“Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. You can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like any other game or 3D application.”
Other fixes are:
Added support for DirectX 10
Added option to monitor Desktop Window Manager under Vista
Added Direct Stream sound recording for Vista
Fixed screen tearing in video captured from DX9 games
Fixed G15 LCD output running fast on Vista machines
Improved resource sharing with multithreaded games
Added numerous crash and compatibility fixes
I always liked Fraps for capturing gaming video and love to see they’re keeping the software updated. You can try Fraps for Free by clicking here.
