Using fraps to record minecraft and fps is low?

I have a good pc and get about 60 fps on minecraft. When I record with fraps, however, I get 12 fps. I know this isn't a computer issue because I can record CS GO with 60 fps. Why can't I record minecraft as good as CS GO? Btw I'm running on windows 10.

Will future colleges judge me because of this?

So, I looked myself up because I just watched a video my school made about our "digital footprint". Most of what I found on Google was some blank websites I made when I was 12 and a couple of YouTube comments on slightly juvenile videos (Minecraft and the like). Do you think colleges will judge me too hard about this? This is a serious question. I don't want my future college to be like, "Nope, this one's a weirdo."

Added (1). Everything else that comes up is some performances I did, a contest I won and my school honor roll. Do those count as bonus points?

DXTory isn't playing my videos

I recorded Minecraft on my laptop with DXTory. I have the full version. I made a 20 minute video and played it using Windows Media Player.

It began to play for about a minute and then stopped completely and a pop up came up saying "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." I tried searching about the problem and I tried the option of "Web Help" which the pop up gave me. Neither gave me any answers on how to fix this.
