Recording with fraps

Question

I'm trying to make a simple 2D game. The problem is, I went to go record a small demo of it for Youtube and found out that FRAPS can't record it. I'm using System.Graphics to draw everything, is there a way to make it so my game is picked up by screen recorders.

Answer 1

System.Graphics is an encapsulation of GDI+ drawing surface. FRAPS works only with programs that uses OpenGL or DirectX. Instead, you can use one the following programs to record your game:

• Open Broadcaster Software (free and open source)
• Camtasia Studio
• BBFlashBack
