What's the Best Video Recorder out there?

[Legodude77]

Oh boy, it's this thread again.

So I kinda want to buy a video recorder to record game 'n stuff, what's the best one out there? I know of fraps but heard it's a cpu hog, any others that are good?

Fraps
Dxtory?

Dxtory is good because it can compress to lagarith lossless codec on the fly, it's what I use and the filesizes shrink dramatically

fraps is the most popular, but

Dxtory

is worth a shot

Microsoft Encoder 4 - Pretty great, large raw files but once it encodes the video files they become incredibly small with good quality.
Bandicam if you have nVidia because they have an encoder that uses CUDA cores. It's pretty great.
Dxtory if you have a fast hard drive.
Another one is Action! by Mirillis. That one's also very good. Good quality + it encodes files also and they become small.

Camtasia. I use it because I can record and edit with the same program. You can record the screen in sections or lock the recording area onto a window allowing for great video game recording.

Hmm, Between Fraps, Dxtory, and Action!, which one is better? (I'm aiming for Action! because it's a little less than the others)

i use msi afterburner's built in recorder over fraps. it's free and it doesn't take too much space either.
