If anyone can help i'm looking for some software for my next video of an update on pangea's quest. I don't mind paying a little bit if its good software. What do you guys use, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day.

I've used Fraps, and it's pretty good. I'd say it's the best I've used. There's a trial version you can check out that just puts a watermark on the video.

Aye, this is what I use. Though I don't know if it's my computer fault or what, but if I record a game (at least an Allegro one) at 640x480 res, it sound lags out the ass.
I prefer rewriting part of my code to resize the game to 320x240, though, to having those ugly "UNREGISTERED COPY OF SOMETHINGOROTHER" on the video.

Oh and FRAPS only works for hardware-rendered thingies (DirectX, OpenGL)

For gaming I use Fraps, the video codec's compression sucks, but I edit and re-encode videos later anyway.
For desktop captures I have tried CamStudio, but since I started using Vista, audio recording has been a pain. Besides audio though, CamStudio is pretty good.
There's also HyperCam, it works pretty good. The free trial leaves a caption at the top of the videos.. but you might be able to crop that out later.
Then there's Camtasia, which seems to be getting popular. I think I tried it once, there's a free trial, not sure what its restrictions are, I'm guessing another unregistered notice watermark somewhere.
