I want to get a PC screen recorder, yet i don't want to pay a lot of money. Does anybody know of a great recording program that is free, if not cheep. I want to make video game recordings if this helps any. Thanks for answering!
Answer
The best - Camtasia - http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/ - The reason being it can handle all sorts of screen recording - especially from commercial video which some other programs have problems with. This is not a free program ($300).
Fraps is supposed to be a good program, but I've never used it but it is only $37.
But there are some very good free ones...
BB FlashBack Express - http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx - good screen video capture program. Captures to AVI and SWF formats. The problem with this one is it puts a halo around the screen cursor which cannot be removed.
Expression Encoder - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5c3c5f97-678c-4c99-a7fc-f84f320c626f - An advanced audio/video-encoding and live-broadcasting application. A huge program but the video capture is great. Captures to WMV format. The free version is good enough for most things.
Screen to Video - http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html - great screen video capture program. Can capture screens to AVI, SWF, FLA and WMV formats. My favorite free recorder.
Wink - http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ - A tutorial and presentation creation software. The screen capture is great. Captures to SWF format.
The most common free one is CamStudio - http://camstudio.org/ - but I stopped using it some time ago after I found it could not capture subtle gradients.

What screen recorder and video editor are best for capturing and editing PC games?
Sean
Me and my friends want to start a Youtube channel where we play different online and PC games like The Sims 1, 2, and 3, and some different free online MMO's. We would also be having video call voice chats while we play them. I want to know what is the best screen recorder to get that can record about 15-20 minutes of game play. I was then going to record the voice chat with Audacity. What would be a good video editing software then too? I only have Windows movie maker. Would that be a good one just to start with? And what screen recorder gives the best quality for the cheapest price? I know about Hypercam, and Fraps. Any other good ones? Thanks in advance!
Answer
Hypercam is a desktop screen recording program, it's not suitable for game recording.
To record a game in high quality, you have to use DirectX hooking program like Bandicam or Fraps.
I prefer to use Bandicam because it's easy to use, and much less lag than Fraps.
Also, you can upload the recorded file to YouTube without converting because the recorded file is much smaller than Fraps (1/20).
