I don't mean to cause problems, but I still think he's wrong. What Cooky is saying is that Fraps records in HD, but I'm saying that BoutCheetah windowed mode is 800x600 (which is not HD) therefore we must come to the conclusion that Fraps just stretches the video. This doesn't help the quality at all though. Unless you're talking about fullscreen mode, but that's even worse because it's also 800x600 just stretched by the client.
Here is an image of a side by side comparison between my AVI file vs the YouTube video, please look at it, it'll help us get on the same page. In reality the quality is actually better than this, but uploading the image made them both lose a bit of quality.
Just click the link to be taken directly to the image, the YouTube video is on the left and my AVI file is on the right ->
