What is the best way to record gameplay?

What is a good way to start recording gameplay, with voice coming in from my microphone as I play?

I think that OBS or Dxtory are your best bet. I would say FRAPS, but it doesn't have enough customizability

Dxtory all the way

Fraps, Shadow Play, Dxtory? All of them are decent. I have yet to find a program that is perfect for recording.

If you're with Nvidia then Shadowplay, othervise Dxtory.

Shadow play or dxtory.

 

Frpas sucks, but can record desktop.

You might want to be weary of big video file sizes. My DXTory recordings, for around 3 minutes, are around 2.10GB. You'll need another program like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier/After Affects to cut it down and render, or you could use an open source program like Handbrake to render the whole thing, but not cut it down.

 

I recommend DXTory because of all the options possible.

Totally forgot about shadowplay, will be trying that out.

If you can use ShadowPlay, that is your best bet... though you need to be worry of your setup as well... Shadowplay won't disturb your gameplay so much, but due to its beta nature certain setups (like Asus' GX Mode in Asus soundcards) can cause the recording to fail...

 

I myself faced with few problems, corrupted recordings, uncontrollable sound volume (probably because I use speakers that time and my mic pick up the audio from speakers, combined with its in-game sound recording, mess up the whole thing), and no-sound in recording due to the GX mode i talked earlier...

 

but when it works, it works like charms.... a lot better than fraps...
