    Fraps 3 released

    I received this message in my email:

    -------------------------
    FRAPS 3.0.0 RELEASE NOTES
    -------------------------

    New features and a new look! Fraps is now compatible with Windows 7 and the latest DirectX 11 games.

    Ventrilo & TeamSpeak users have long wanted a way to record their microphone and speakers at the same time. For Windows 7 and Vista we've added realtime sound mixing to our video recording so you can now capture both sides of the conversation!

    NVIDIA have recently included stereoscopic 3D support directly into their drivers. If you play your DirectX9 (D3D9) game with 3D Vision enabled you can use Fraps to record the game in full 3D too! You'll get a side-by-side stereo AVI recording that you can drop straight in to a stereoscopic 3D player!

    Finally, we are aware that more and more people are putting Fraps to professional use. We've added a new option to force lossless RGB compression to ensure that you always have the highest quality video output to work with.

    Thanks again for your support. We hope that you enjoy Fraps 3!

    ---------
    CHANGELOG
    ---------

    - DirectX 11 support
    - Compatible with Windows 7 final (RTM) and RC1 versions
    - Stereoscopic 3D Vision video capture up to 1920x1200 for D3D9 games
    - Force lossless RGB option to always capture video in pure form
    - Ability to mix both game sound and external input such as microphone (Vista/Win7 only)

    AWESOME!

    Thanks Global for posting. I got fed up trying to make videos with Vista because even after days of searching I couldn't find a way to record in-game stuff and Teamspeak due to the DRM crap in Vista. If 3.0 finally fixes that, I will be buying as soon as I get my new Win7 install going.

    Maybe we should revisit the idea we talked about here: FRAPS hookup for Tactical Gamer

    OOMMG!!!

    All I wanted was "Mic & Card at same tiimee" wheee!!! If that works, Ima actually BUY this one!!

    It did not work with the Xfi Extreme gamer but now we will see.


    EDIT: Nope, does not work...

    BF2 Audio Settings on Hardware/High - works nice, but I can not use the CMSS3D of X-Fi and can not hear whats behind me with my stereo headphones.

    Settings on X-Fi/Ultra High - does not work, only picks up Mic but I can use CMSS3d since BF2 delivers 5.1 audio which can be used for surround simulation.

    Settings X-Fi/Ultra High with the "What u hear" as standart recording device - records game sound but no mic, if I enable the MIC so I canhear myself the game picks up game noise when I use voip... So that also sucks!

    GODDAAAMNN!!!

    Re: Fraps 3 released

    It says 3.0.3 came out Nov 21st. But it is a good thread to bump anyway.
    It is also still saying:

    Ventrilo & TeamSpeak users have long wanted a way to record their microphone and speakers at the same time. For Windows 7 and Vista we've added realtime sound mixing to our video recording so you can now capture both sides of the conversation!
    But I'm pretty sure Jeepo and others have tested it and still don't have it working.

    No, I have not got the NEW FRAPS 3.0, I am 2.9.8 and will need to get my hands on the new one to do a test.

    Will give an update soon on this, as I just got round to updating my FRAPS.

    Re: Fraps 3 released

    Just a heads up:
    Fraps updated to 3.1.0

    Nothing mind blowing for me, but might help some folks having problems.

    Fraps 3.10 Released -- featuring unlocked capture rates (cue girlish squeel!)

    This is *highly* exciting news. Now, it should be possible to game at decent frame rates, while capturing relatively low amount of data in the background. I can't wait to try this out tonight.

    I just tested it and it didnt work for me, FPS went down to 30 and then stayed there
    I would be interested in your results though
    Fraps reducing FPS is its one weakness as a recorder
