Best Software to Record PC Screen?

[Cy-Fy]

Hello guys I'm planning to start doing some gaming and tutorials on youtube and I'm deciding on what software I should use to record the screen,,, I have heard about Camtasia Studio or something but I wanted to know recommendations based on experience, maybe xsplit, I don't know... Maybe some youtubers here could help me? ^^ Thanks you guys

Fraps and DxTory are good choices.

Open Broadcast Software is a great alternative to xsplit and its free.

what do you think of the free version of xsplit, I mean Linus uses it so it must be good right?

Fraps is quite a good one and doesn't cost much however as @Samdb said DxTory is also a good one but more expensive, yet higher quality

It doesn't let you record full screen games, which kind of sucks.

I use Action! from Mirillis, it's probably my favorite program.

 

+ Smaller file sizes than Dxtory & Fraps

+ Close to NO frame-drop

+ Record your microphone + in-game sound to separate tracks for Sony Vegas

+ You have recording modes: Game, window or Chosen desktop region

+ MP4 up to 720p, AVI up to 1080p

+ You can record webcams as-well

 

- Doesn't record all games

- Makes DRM overlays to not work (Steam, Origin..)

- Not a big fan of the overlay/HUD that shows the FPS counter

 

There is probably a few more Pros and cons, but those is what i remember

Just to give you a different alternative, I use the Mirillis Action! and it is great it has basic editing capabilities and reduces less frames in my games compared to fraps.

With any luck we will see shadowplay soon which will work on any nvidia card from 650 ti and higher.

I like Bandicam. You can set it to anything. You can do fullscreen, or set a specific frame box...or just drag the edges around untill you are happy. I thought it was very flexible. I only used the trial which has full support but only 10 minutes per recording and a watermark.

But it was very nice.

Fraps

Open Broadcaster Software works surprisingly well and is very customisable. I don't know how much of a toll it takes on the CPU though so you might want to check that out first.
