lol oh yea, it wasn't "good" but at least for me at the time it was the only option I could find and if you got the settings right it was the best looking one. I was also young so there may have been better solutions out there but I could at least get FRAPs running.
I mean, it worked at the time, but so frustrating when you wanted to show off 60fps in Crysis or whatever, and the recording ended up being less than 30 fps.
