Need experienced Fraps users
I need some help, need some experiences Fraps users here. Ok so, I just got Fraps, and the problem is is that when I record, Fraps seperates the video if it goes past some random number length, like the video seperates into like 3 or 4 different videos. I can merge the videos together with Windows Movie Maker, but when the video comes out the quality sucks. (Could also use some help with finding a new video editing software) Also I need some help with the separation of the video. Could someone please explain?

It's an earlier free version of VideoPad video editor. It's unsupported, but it's still available from the company for free. Fairly easy to use with a lot of features.
Two things to note- first, when installing it, say NO to having it install trial versions of all their other software unless you really want to play with their audio editors and things. They're time-limited and take a while to download, install and ultimately uninstall when they stop working.
Next, when you "Save Movie..." select "Computer file" and it will let you choose a lot of options for the format you want to save your movie file in.
Choose "mp4" if you plan to upload the video to YouTube because that's the format YouTube saves videos in anyway and saving it that way when you create it will save you a lot of time when you upload the file to them.
There are also controls for the video quality of your final movie. Higher quality naturally results in a bigger file size, and there will be some loss of quality when you upload it to YouTube anyway. You may have to experiment a bit to find a combination of settings you like.
Also, there are a lot of videos on YouTube showing how to use VideoPad, just use their search bar to find "VideoPad".[/quote]
Thanks, but I found another editing program called Virtual Dub.
[quote=feud999]I already bought Fraps, so theres no point in trying out a new recorder.
I just need to find a different video editer that won't mess up my videos quality.[/quote]

Doesn't matter that much after YouTube processing either way
Afterburner's video quality leaves much to be desired.
MSI Afterburner can be used to record (and without watermarks or the video splits and stuff), I believe.
But definitely no watermarks.
Or use Dxtory, it has no file cap size and does record .avi I like its interface better then fraps as well.
Combining the separated video files should not be an issue. FRAPS caps the files at ~4 GB due to the file size limitation of .AVI 1.0. Windows Movie Maker is known to sometimes reduce the video quality of the finished render. VirtualDub is a good alternative to WMM.
