I can’t state this enough, because while FRAPS normally gives me a very noticeable reaction to hitting that record hotkey, it was as seamless as could be with Pla圜law. So, I hopped back into the game and recorded a much longer one, and again, the fact that Pla圜law was recording wasn’t even noticeable. I immediately exited the game, and sure enough, that fifteen second or so video file was sitting on the desktop. After I pressed the hotkey, I had assumed the program wasn’t working, because there was simply no noticeable lag, which as far as FRAPS goes, is unusual. The first time I tried the video record feature out, I was playing a game I posted a review for just last week, Bizzare Creations’ Blur.

But, after testing the application for just about two weeks, that skepticism has all but vanished. Part of the reason might have been the fact that I’ve been craving better FRAPS video recording performance for a while, so I didn’t want to jump the gun and assume that the program was going to give me a night and day difference.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t even heard of Pla圜law, and even after reading the developer’s website, I admit that I remained skeptical.
