Kk so I have fraps allready downloaded obviously but when ever I try to hit the hot key which at this point is F2 nothing happens, and when ever I try to record videos using hypercam 2...I go to view the playback of my video and it moves so fast, and not only that but the quality is terrible, so I don't use hypercam any more, and I want to be able to record videos and stuff, so if anyone can help me fix this problem with fraps so I can start recording I'd appreciate it alot. thanks in advance!
Fraps is only used for recording video games only. Are you trying to record from a game or just from your desktop?
oh it is I didn't know that and I'm trying to record just normal videos nothing game related but I hate hypercam its crap. but if that's the case do you know of any other freeware webcam software that I could use besides fraps or hypercam?
Try CamStudio. It's free, it has a lot of features, and it's pretty easy to use. http://camstudio.org/ If quality is super important you can get the lossless codec for it, which will increase the file size but the quality will be better. Go to the EXE installer here once you install the actual program: http://camstudio.org/blog/camstudio-lossless-codec-v14-released
