fraps, best for me

Ok, fraps.
I will search for it.

Are there in fraps any spacial settings I`ll have to attend?

It`s fine!
Thank you!

camstudio

I like taksi. Its fast like fraps for dx, but free:) missing a few small features, but nothing that can't be worked around:) camstudio is nice too, but its a lil slow, more useful for windows based apps that taksi won't catch:)

I've never really figured out why, but CamStudio and FRAPS kill performance on my machine and tend to skip a lot of frames when recording.

Call me old school but ever since YouTube is able to convert videos from high definition quality to quite manageable formats and sizes, I tend to record my video game stuff with an HD camera.

Then go from there. No slow downs when recording.

If your video card sports a video out you could also just record everything the monitor puts out through that and then edit it to your likings in whatever video app you prefer. This requires a bunch of hardware in most cases though.

The reason is kinda simple: Solving software problems with more software is usually a very bad idea. Especially if the software needs to fill a colorbuffer by grabbing the current one from the GPU, then doing movement in the RAM and then writing it out to the HDD. Thats probably every single performance bottleneck one can hit on a computer, and this is done every frame!

Consequentially, the only ways you can really "speed up" FRAPS are to use faster data buses, more efficient memory sticks, snappier hard drives, or some combination of the three. Defragging your hard drive and keeping the disk spinning also improves performance.
