What are some good video capturing software for free?

Q. I want to record some game on my computer. What are some free software that is good for record computer games? You can also throw some paid ones in your answer if you'd like, but I mainly want free ones that are good.
It also needs to record sound.

A. There are some very good free screen video recorders and some very expensive ones...

BB FlashBack Express - http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx - good screen video capture program. Captures to AVI and SWF formats. The problem with this one is it puts a halo around the screen cursor which cannot be removed.

Expression Encoder - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5c3c5f97-678c-4c99-a7fc-f84f320c626f - An advanced audio/video-encoding and live-broadcasting application. A huge program but the video capture is great. Captures to WMV format. The free version is good enough for most things but only captures 10 minute segments. The full version is $600 but it is a very good program. There are also less expensive versions of it which aren't anywhere near that - http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Purchase.aspx#tabs-1

Screen to Video - http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html - great screen video capture program. Can capture screens to AVI, SWF, FLA and WMV formats. My favorite free recorder.

Wink - http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ - A tutorial and presentation creation software. The screen capture is great. Captures to SWF format.

The most common free one is CamStudio - http://camstudio.org/ - but I stopped using it some time ago after I found it could not capture subtle gradients and changes some screen colors.

Camtasia is very good - http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html - but it's $300. Fraps - http://www.fraps.com/ and Bandicam - http://www.bandicam.com/ are good. I think they are a bit heavy on resources but they are less than $40 each.

Then there is Adobe Captivate but that's $900.

Camtasia, Expression, Wink and a couple of the others have their own editors otherwise just use a video editor to edit them.

If you mean from a game console then hardware capture and encoding is better. Hauppauge, AVerMedia and Blackmagic are all good makes. Personally I like the Hauppauge HD PVR - http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html the gaming edition is good but the "normal" one has better software.


How do I screen record and have audio through headphones and on the recording at the same time?
Q. I'm just starting on YouTube, and the past couple things that I've recorded, the sound from the computer itself is being recorded through the mic that I'm speaking into, ie. it picks up the background noise. I've been wanting it to do this so that I can actually record the sound from the game, but it sounds horrible. So how do I record the sound that the game has and play the game with my headphones on? I don't want the music playing through my external speakers while trying to record commentary. I just want to be able to speak into my Yeti and record the audio via a screen recording software. Anything will help. Thanks.

A. I know that on Mac, (This probably works for windows too.) that it has a feature from Quicktime called screen recording. Once you select that, you can choose if you want to record audio (from computer or mic) .
