I recently bought this software, and im really satisfied with it, with a few adjustments, it could and it will blow off fraps. ;)
Here are some options that i would be really happy to see in the future updates:

-jpg format screenshots in Games/applications (with adjustable quality slider, like in Afterburner, but thats not necessary)
-ability to export videos with constant bitrate
-at the moment i cant disable hotkeys for functions (or at least i dont know how), so i have to put them on a ridiculous combination to avoid the accidental press :D (Like Ctrl+shift+alt+l)
-it would be great if i could export videos into other formats than mp4, because premiere pro cant import those files.

Despite these, its a pretty damn good program, and not to mention cheaper than fraps, so I can only suggest buying it.

An auto-start with Windows option would be great as well. :)

That works only in desktop mode, in games/applications only bmp is available.

"Output file formats for Games & applications BMP"

There is a reason for this.

Jpg compresses and removes information to create a picture. BPM is pretty much similar to RAW files.

In other words Mirillis are offering the highest quality. Why do you want a worse quality option?

Besides, Paint supports converting BMP to Jpg. Just do that.

Yes, but who the hell wants to convert each and every picture from bmp to jpg? Fraps can do that, Afterburner can do that (And thats not even a similar software to this, and its free) so why cant Action do that?

I dont make screenshots to have flawless quality images.

But why do you even want JPG? BMP is far superior. Every program I know of supports using it. I just don't see the logic.

Because i collect, and share screenshots:
For example:

I dont want to store a bunch of 8mb sized pictures, when they could be about 700-900kbytes.
Also, not everyone has a fast internet connection.
