Hi! I would just like to know which recording software is best for recording games. I know fraps records at very high quality, but it is a massive file size. Please write below what you think is best and why!

If you have the cash. A avermedia live gamer portable would be the best choice. It comes in at $150 but you wont lose any lag becuase they capture card is using itself and not the computer to record videos and the videos are in HD and i think the file sizes are not too big. If you dont got the money i would suggest maybe bandicam. You can compress video sizes if they are too big with AVS Video Converter and converting them to a WMV File.

Fraps for recording ( Any recorder which has small files uses extra cpu because it renders in the mean time so that the files arent that big ), with fraps your fps loss will be very small, if u use something like camtasia studio u will most likely get less fps. I advise Fraps for recording and Camtasia for editing

So I just tried out fraps, I love it. I can record lag free! Plus, it's full HD. So it looks like your playing the game when watching the video. Thank you all for your inputs on my forum post

Bandicam allows you to record games on full-screen, or record the whole screen by selecting an area somehow with something in the program, and it doesn't have to be a game. (Forgot what it was, but I'm sure you'll figure it out)

Camtasia since you can record flash games/normal games and has an editing program so you don't have to buy sony vegas or a program like that.

Although Camtaisa has a free trial and it costs a ton to buy.
