You can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like any other game or 3D application. Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. This allows you to capture ingame audio even if you are using a USB headset or other audio device which does not normally support a 'Stereo Mix' or 'What U Hear' recording input. Fraps can take advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now all fully supported for these titles. The latest Fraps 2.9 release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10 games. Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game?
