Fraps 2.7.2 vs 2.9.1 ?
 

Many or most seem to use fraps 2.7.2.

Is this because it's a free version that allows you to record for as long as you want, or another reason?

What's wrong with using 2.9.1? Is this a good version?

What are the pros/cons with using 2.9.1 over 2.7.2? Is it worth buying 2.9.1?


Any help would be most appreciated as I'm considering buying Fraps 2.9.1 if it's worth it.

I'm not certain why they prefer it but I am very certain that later versions aren't free. They don't provide them for free from their website at all. Instead they provide a trial version that has a few features turned off. As for buying it, if you are a serious author then it will be the best possible purchase you ever will make.

No reason at all.

Infact 2.7.2 is limited to 1152x864 as highest resolution and has a lot of bugs that are fixed in 2.9.1.
