So I tried downloading Fraps, and it might have given me a malware... Any recording softwares that are easy to use, uploadable to Dailymotion for Windows 8?
Don't listen to anyone recommending, get action it's the best recording software you can get trust me, try to find an activation key off of google or something, here's some footage from my channel-
As long as your computer could keep up, Bandicam was very clear for me when I had optifine installed for minecraft. The fps were typically as much as it were in-game so it looked really well. For example of bandicam recording:
Did you download it from a 3rd-party website? I've had Fraps on my laptop for about 9 months now, and I have no malware. Depending on your PC, Bandicam works well, as does Fraps. OBS - It's more complicated than those two, which just isn't needed. I personally just use the built-in Game DVR that comes with Windows 10, as it basically causes no fps drop while playing and still records my game at 1080p.
If not editing further is involved, try Bandicam. You said you have it but can't find it? Have you searched your PC for "Bandicam" - It will come up under "Desktop App".
X-box app may be available on windows 8, if not upgrade to windows 10, it's better. The X-Box app has a free DVR and recording software, Win+alt+r to record when on Minecraft then do it again to stop. Or Win+g. Also how the hell did you get malware from fraps?
I would suggest Bandicam for a free recorder. Bandicut also allows you to cut down certain video clips.
X-box app is better, mostly because it was produced by a professional multi-billion dollar company, and it's free. And it records in more than 720p :l
