New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/23/2011 -- The new game tsunami is coming with a host of new and upcoming games such as Skyrim which was released in the middle of November 2011. Gamers all around the world are enjoying this astonishing game and also waiting for the next big releases like Diablo III, Grand Theft Auto V, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City to name a few.

These days, gamers are not just playing in front of a TV or a computer. Some of them meet new friends and chat with strangers in the game or record their awesome gameplays and upload their commentary videos on YouTube. Not only that, some people become YouTube stars because of their gameplay videos.

It becomes a new trend among gamers and YouTube video makers. So many gamers and YouTube video makers record their plays and share their gameplays on YouTube.

Because of that, many people are looking for good game recording programs.

One of the most popular game recording software is Fraps. Fraps can record the original gameplay by DirectX and OpenGL hooking technology, so the video quality is better than other software.

However, the program can only record DirectX/OpenGL programs; it can't record non-DirectX/OpenGL programs like flash or java games. In addition, the recorded video file size is quite huge. If you record for a minute, the file size might be around 1GB. Imagine! When you try to upload a minute video onto YouTube, it may take a very long time to upload the whole video. To avoid these problems, some people are trying to find Fraps alternative software.

Bandicam is a good alternative to Fraps because it records not only the DirectX/OpenGL programs like Fraps but also it can record anything on your PC screen including flash/java games. In addition, Bandicam compresses the video when recording, so the recorded file size is much smaller than Fraps without any loss of video quality.

As a result, gamers can get a high quality gameplay video and a reduced video file size due to the video compressing technology from Bandicam
