we r?

I just downloaded it (I am broke and don't have enough for full version). So it's set to F9 to record, does Fraps need to be open to record? or would I just press F9 to use it?

Also, where would it be saved to, so I can upload it to Windows Movie Maker?

You can minimize it, and it will be running with your game. Press F9 to start recording, and again to stop recording. Press F10 to take a screenshot in .bmp format. Press F12 to change where you want the FPS counter to appear. Press Alt+F4 in-game to get the full version of Fraps free.

Dangit, I gotta be me!

Alt+F4 also gives you -blam!-, God mode, a list of cheats, etc.

And don't forget, ALT+F4 also brings up the console, without you even typing in "-console" into the Halo target line! Useful if you don't know how to enable the console manually.

Not only does it give you console, but it automatically types in the rcon password for every server , pays your credit card bills and reprograms your dog to cook you eggs and bacon every day ;)

Fraps is worth the money, I'd get it ;) I love the FPS counter in my game, I love recording movies whenever I want, and I absolutely love taking screenshots

Just minimize the program , it minimizes it to the system tray so you don't even know its' running (Also in the program check "Start with windows automatically, and Start Minimized"

Don't forget to use ALT F4 and happy Frapsing

Btw, does running Fraps sort of drop FPS while playing Halo or other PC games? Just wondering, because once I get the FX5500, I plan to frap as hell while im pwning people in Halo. xD

Yes, when you start recording the FPS dips, and it's not so good for low-range PCs, and on higher resolutions it can make Halo look like a slideshow.

And I'd get more clips of me pwning you, Ipjuunin. :P

It closes the game. You're basically X'ing Halo.

**NOTE** Do not record with fraps on a 866 MHZ machine with halo in 1024x789 resolution with sound variety on High + All graphics options on high / enabled

This may cause silicon melting, your face degrading, the feeling that your computer is even more insignificant than your life, and may or may not totally ruin your aiming (if you had any) and may result in brain tissue deterioration and / or destruction of every dog that cooks bacon you ever knew....

In other words Halo was running at 3 FPS looking at the ground, and 1 FPS actually shooting people, as you can imagine this is *not* fun at all :P

Sorry just had to post my experience
(Clicks ALT F4)

That's because you have a Mac. [spoiler]Alt+F4 in Windows by default exits out the current high-lighted program/window.[/spoiler]

I'll have ketchup, mustard, and beans, please. And a hot dog, while you're at it.

Actually, I was referring to this post. And, whoops! Frankie said "Hot Damn!" Not hot dog!
