Alternative to FRAPS for mac?

Quicktime. It should already be installed on your macbook.

Launch Quicktime Player then right click the icon in the tray and select 'New Screen Recording'.

It will give you the option to record your whole screen or to drag a box around the area you wish to record.

My understanding is that quicktime will try and record in full resolution and destroy framerate. I'll have to play with that. I also downloaded the OBS mac client. I should have an opportunity to test both this evening. Have you messed with quicktime in lieu of fraps?
