If screenshots are more your thing it's also now possible to automatically capture screens at fixed rate intervals..."

the latest verseion of fraps is still 2.5.7 or something...
there's no reason for fraps to change to lossy; none of the changelogs for the newer versions mention lossy compression
I think the quoted statement can be interpreted in different ways. I could also mean that lossless part of compression was improved, and so the filesize is smaller for given quality (much like x264 CAVLC->CABAC in general use).
