Gamecam. Never used it, but I heard it sucks. I'd only use it if you have absolutely nothing else that you can use.

It's likely that your pc can't handle recording videos from games. In most games my fps drop to barely above 30 while recording.

Gamecam, Camtasia.

Regardless, none of the recorders get on the same quality as Fraps.
Gamecam is pretty ok, but it's all messed up with interface imo.

Oh, and also try lowering your resolution. It's also likely that you're trying to record at a high resolution (1024x768 or higher) and it's too much for your system to handle. Lower it to 800x600 or 640x480 (or whatever the appropriate widescreen resolution would be if you have a widescreen monitor) and then try it again.

I'd recomend you to try before changing the recorder:

Half the screen size.
Also, put in the Fps 25. After that, disable the sound completely.
Then, go to the game, put to 640x480.

The filesize is so big because there isn't enough time to compress the video.
You need a programm to compress the raw video.
And if you have to fix something with "Nvidia" it surely is also the problem why fraps sucks for you.

Buy the software to get rid of the 30 second recording limit, and learn to encode to reduce the size of the video. Two very simple things. Just sounds to me like you're kinda new to this...

Why didn't you just upload it to imageshack or such?
Like anybody would download a picture from rapidshare.

And the second thing; PLEASE STOP posting these help threads here.
Ask from the places like frap's forums or something, we do not know the reasons why nothing works on your computer.

How about reading the friggin' FAQ on frap's site? (hint: the question is "Why is the AVI movie generated by Fraps so big?").
And you told us you won't buy fraps, but now you're registering it?

I used GameCam before, it's pretty good if you actually buy it.
Unfortunately it doesn't support widescreen while recording.
My FPS hardly dropped at all on my old system, and the quality wasn't bad either if you chose it to be.

But again, no widescreen support, but small file sizes and quality recordings.
FRAPs really kills my FPS whilst recording, troublesome. Oh, and huge RAW filesizes as most of you know.

I have Camtasia as well, haven't tried recording ingame though.
