Beware! I'd recommend Acethinker Free Screen Recorder which I have used for many years. It is a web-based tool that lets you record your screen right from your browser. You don't have to install any additional plug-ins or add-ons. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-record-with-fraps-on-only-one-monitor/?ID=5a2a1d61-a1c8-409e-b74d-02da60e7b3dd#3 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:48:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-record-with-fraps-on-only-one-monitor/?ID=5a2a1d61-a1c8-409e-b74d-02da60e7b3dd#3 DisplayFusion I had a chance to test out FRAPS, and it doesn't appear that you can choose which screen to record.

If you're just recording the desktop (not games), I'd suggest giving CamStudio a try, as it is more tailored towards recording regular applications, and allows you to choose which screen to record:

Unfortunately, full screen apps don't really behave well when moved to other monitors than they were intended to run on. However, I'll test a few things out with FRAPS this week and see if I can help at all.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-record-with-fraps-on-only-one-monitor/?ID=5a2a1d61-a1c8-409e-b74d-02da60e7b3dd Fri, 11 Nov 2011 06:28:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-record-with-fraps-on-only-one-monitor/?ID=5a2a1d61-a1c8-409e-b74d-02da60e7b3dd DisplayFusion I'm experimenting with the trial version of DF, and so far I like it. But in DF, as in Windows 7, I can't seem to control which monitor is recorded by FRAPS, the image- and video-capture utility. I'm trying to use FRAPS's feature that lets one "record the Aero desktop."

I've added FRAPS to the list of apps to open on Monitor 2, and when I fire it up it will start recording on Monitor 2, but sometimes (perhaps when I click on monitor 1?) it switches over to monitor 1.

I have other applications like this, too. E.g., Windows slideshow; I might start it on one monitor, but the output then moves to the other monitor. Is there a way to control not only which monitor *starts* the application, but also which monitor *displays* it?

Incidentally, I've got my main monitor plugged into port 2 of my (nVidia) video card, and my secondary plugged into port 1. Does that matter for any purpose? Could it be contributing to this issue?

Thanks. ]]>
