Thinking of recording games; what's a good, free video recorder?

[RaikohZX]

So Streets of Rage Remake was released yesterday and, after watching some Youtube, I gained the immense urge to try to record some gameplay or even playthroughs from it, along with other games. I messed with Camtasia before, but the 30-day limit hit and I dumped that. Can anyone recommend a decent recording program that's free? Frame rate impact isn't a major concern unless, well, the impact is major. I also hope to record sound, which i'm not very knowledgeable in doing...

Er, I meant PC games entirely. :sweatdrop:

Fraps is shit for recording if you don't pay for the full version.

I suggest Wegame, it supports a large variety of games, and if you don't want to put your videos on their website, you can go to the 'My wegame videos' folder and extract the video file.

Who would ever use the free version of Fraps?

I do. I can crop out the watermark and I find that any shots longer than 30 seconds destroy the flow of a film anyway.

The steam recorder should be out soon, just wait for it.

Suppose that makes sense.
Then again I'm going off the logic from when I bought it for $2 ages ago.
