just a quick question that I will have deleted once I get a satisfying answer haha.

Can anybody recommend good video capture software for PC gamers? I want to start doing Let's Play videos, and putting TES videos up on youtube but was wondering what others used?

I imagine the paid version of FRAPS is the best bet?

Thanks!

I used FRAPS for a long time and it is pretty good. There is a considerable performance hit associated with recording however, so if your computer is barely getting by as is, you may want to try the free version before buying the paid version. The difference is that the free version only lets you record 30 seconds at a time.

If you have a newer Nvidia card there is a free video capture software available through their GeForce Experience program. I have used it as well and it has less of a performance hit than FRAPS does.
