How do I see the FPS of playback in VLC and other video players in windows?

Question

I play animated videos and notice a lag or frame drop.

I learned later that this is due to Japanese anime being not fully animated due to low budgets.

But I want to be sure. Nvidia Geforce FPS overlay is not working for Video players.

Is there a program to show FPS of video playback in VLC and other players?

Answer 1

Try Fraps. It works with video and graphic sources that don't work with other FPS overlay programs.

I tested it with VLC and the framerate is constant 24 FPS. It seems that the poor animation is the cause of my concern and not my PC.
