So does FRAPS 30 second stop every 30 seconds and you have to start it again, or does it record in 30 second clips until you tell it to stop recording? Sounds tedious.

It stops, you have to start it again yourself.

If you're looking to record gameplay stuff like KQ, yes it will be annoying because you have to play the game and watch the number at the top at the same time.

But if you're making movie clips, it's usually fine cos you don't usually get scenes that run for more than 30 seconds straight.
