Tried searching here and on google, with no luck. Is there no absoulutely free alternative to fraps? I want to capture video with no time limit, but am not happy about the 37$ registration fee.

Not sure how well it would work, but using AviScreen Classic to capture video, and Audacity to capture the audio might work.

Thanks, Lorian. I'm assuming that one prog that does both and is free doesnt exist. Ill give these a try.

I don't know, I haven't been able to find a free one though. But I was only looking for a program that has the option to not compress the video output, or compress it losslessly, and anything else I could find either compressed it or displayed a big watermark.

But anyway, I tried looking for a free alternative and there are none out there that come close to FRAPS.

I haven't used it, but I've heard it does a decent job albeit at lower fps than fraps.

camstudio is horrible.... bad compression, low fps, high cpu usage..... not worth it.... 37 bucks sounds like a decent deal.... the only other way would be to clone the video output to your s-video out, then take the audio and svideo and record it either on DVD or VHS.
