Fraps plugs "into" OpenGL/DirectX windows and captures their rendering. It's by far the best for games, but it only works on games.

Camtasia Studio is much better than CamStudio (however it isn't free).
There's no place like ~/

Agreed. I prefer CamStudio just to be legal.LeonBlade wrote:Camtasia Studio is much better than CamStudio (however it isn't free).

Re: Screen Capture for Youtube videos?
Well, I would have been one to say "Camstudio kicks ass," but I have since found out that AUDIO RECORDING FROM SPEAKERS DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS VISTA/7.
I've used Camstudio flawlessly with XP, and it still works perfectly for everything except for the goddamn audio recording on Vista/7.
But yeah, every video (including ESRev2) since AiGD Ch 8 or 9 has been Camstudio (before that was Hypercam, which is a piece of shit).

I got it to work on 7, I just had to enable the Stereo Mix input device and set that as the recording device in Camstudio. However this meant I couldn't record voice at the same time, but meh.

Are you talking about how you can't select "Stereo Mix", or "What U Hear"? ..because there are ways...
EDIT: As RyanPridgeon said, plus if you unmute your microphone input (so it's coming through the speakers), that will record with it.
Re: Screen Capture for Youtube videos?
I use TechSmith's Camtasia, it's a great piece of software imo, but it's not free =/.
Re: Screen Capture for Youtube videos?
if you are on osx, screenflow is the app for you, its not free, buts its better than any screen casting tool i have used, free or not.
