Bandicam vs. Fraps

[Kris94]

Which is the better program? Fraps or Bandicam? Any thoughts?

Both of they have a freeware trial version. Bandicam allows you to record unlimited time but with watermark, you can remove it purchasing the full version. Fraps trial allows you to record 30 secs and with watermark. And the program makes a video with a size of 1GB every 3 mins so you need space in your HDD. Both of they slow your PC, fraps can slow it to 15%. And you need a good PC to record good(decent) videos. I have tested both of they, freeware, and bandicam slows the PC more than fraps, but the only con is the watermark
And there is a thread about this just with the same name, I think that we know how to use the search option

Yeah I've seen it but haven't really found what I'm truly looking for.

hi Kris94

I am useing both Fraps & Bandicam full version's.
But it all so depends on what you use them for, At the moment i use Bandicam for trainz because it save's as a smaller file then Frap's, The best way is to have a folder on a USB drive or 2nd HD for Bandicam to save to.
I use Frap's for all my Need for Speed Vid's i do allso saveing to a differnt drive,
By saveing to a difffent drive then the game you are recording doesnt slow the game down to much.
Hope's this help's

I thought the watermark would be removed once the program was registered.
