Fraps can be downloaded at download.com for free if you wish to check it out. however it will only record for 30 seconds straight and then you would have to rehit the record button. Also it would have the fraps logo on the top of whatever video you record. You can upgrade and buy the better version, which is what I use and love. I cant remember off the top of my head how much it costs, but it is unlimited recording and no logo.
