do they have one that you dont have to pay for?

i think fraps 1.9D is free, but no sound...

fraps 2.0 is the only pay one

Sadly, either it sucks ass, or you have to pay for it.

The problem with fraps is that it records typically around 25-30 fps for the videos. While that sounds just fine, for some reason in game it makes your FPS go to total shite.I've tried using fraps 2.0 to record movies during some larger battles, but my fps fluctuates like crazy. One second it's 20 fps, then it's 2. Only really happens to me in PlanetSide too. Also, movies you record with fraps (2.0 anyway) are recorded as a .avi, and for some reason you need the fraps codec to watch them. And the only way to get this codec is to, well, install fraps
