What do you record with?

Props to old friends with advices (Lupe + Hepha with BSR/Fraps), but is there any other good, and free screen recorders that work with great graphics and easy on the lag-in-game.

I use ffmpeg, its the smoothest and most reliable out of all of them. But you have to get dirty with the command line in order to use it (since it has no GUI that I know of), and on top of that, since it grabs an area of the screen you may need some knowledge in video editing to crop out the game area.

One of my old videos demonstrating the results in 720P HD, SM 4.0 and it causes minimal lag.

well i appreciate it man, but i don't really have a clue with computers beyond the basics. But do keep me posted on others if you do manage to have alternatives. Always good to hear from you!

Just go with Fraps.
It's fairly cheap and easy to use yet outputs professional level recordings.

Beware however that it will fill up your harddrive alarmingly fast when recording, depending on what settings you choose.

I'm going Fraps too

Just don't expect to do any easy editing of Fraps videos, it uses a custom video codec that doesn't work in all media tools (or is buggy).

If you run into such problems, sites like YouTube allow you to do some degree of online editing.

Or just import the recordings into a video editing program such as Vegas Movie Studio.

Try to find fraps hacks on youtube or google. I use a fraps hack which basicly means I have fraps but don't have to pay for it.
