I also used Fraps when playing Squad, the frame rate dramatically drops when intense fire which i think both caused by my hardware and Fraps's itself. Later I turn to Camtasia and record with it. Although fps still dropped, but it far better that i cannot even felt it. You can download Camtasia in its official link http://discover.techsmith.com/camtasia-brand-desktop/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6-PJBRCO_br1qoOB4LABEiQAEkqcVaEhNTvJmUfQNEHhV56uODfBmEp_-z4UipxwPkIaNGoaApXv8P8HAQ. You can as well use it to edit your gameplay video by changing parameters. About it use you can read:http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/how-to-use-camtasia.html which contains detailed details. Btw, i am also a new user of it.
