Don't bother w/ Fraps. It uses horrible compression, and then you have to go through the added pain of re-compressing your game vids. Use Gamecam instead. You can get it here:

It's faster, and it's much much better. Even has a nice in game menu to control it.

Yes game cam is good, but as for Fraps and compression. It doesn't compress at all. It's raw data, that's why the files are so huge.
That said, i think powerg8 mentioned Fraps as a means to take screenshots, not capture video. Fraps works perfect for taking screenshots, just assign any key and point to a folder where you want to screenshots to end up. They are even named by the name of the game.

The adress is as easy as it gets:
www.fraps.com

Ah, I read that wrong, my bad. Either way, I still say we need a screenshot function ingame.

Found this freeware program and thought I've give this existing thread a bump, since its a popular question. And DE hates me...
