Screen recorder

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Hey guys. What do you think the best screen recorder is to record your games? All of the ones I have tried come out crappy. Thanks :)

CamStudio is nice, it has pretty much everything you need.

The lossless codec works nice but my two video editors (MS Movie maker and Adobe Premier Elements 7.0) won't accept a video encoded in that. I am using DiVX and it works real nice. It didn't work at first for me, but after a bit of research I realized the trouble was that the width has to be a multiple of 4 and the height has to be a multiple of 2. The only downside of DiVX is there is a watermark at the bottom right hand side of the screen, but the quality is the best so far so I will deal with it.
