gamesmacosscreen capture

What is the best alternative to Fraps for the Mac?

What should it do:

  • In-game screen capture.
  • Record audio from both microphone and system audio at the same time
  • Fast
  • (Optional) Video compression.
  • (Optional) Ability to display framerate (FPS)

Best Answer

My suggestions:

  • iShowU HD – great app, can record in-game videos, records both microphone and system app, compress video and still fast; $29.95.
  • QuickTime – records audio only from system input, supports in-game screen capture, slower then iShowU HD, but still smooth, free and built-in.
  • Krut – Ugly interface, very buggy.
  • Screeny – No demo available; $14.99
