I did the my

using fraps. Since I'm running windows 7 the entire desktop runs of the 3d-graphics drivers so fraps i able to capture it. You just need to tick the box that says Monitor Aero desktop (DWM) and you should be good to go. Also, it's probably a good idea to run the game in the standalone flash projector just to get the best possible performance.

I was also wondering if any of you were able to get fraps to work with flash...

it is possible:
go to "general" and activate "Monitor Aero Desktop (DWM)".
note that with this option the whole desktop will be recorded, though.

My Screen Recorder Pro is a better screencast software tool. Records your screen and audio from the speakers or your voice from the microphone - or both simultaneously. The recordings are clear and look great when played back on your PC or uploaded to YouTube. It will record directly to AVI, WMV, MP4, or FLV. Just perfect for creating tutorials, demos, and presentations. Plus, java is not required and there are no limits on recording length. Also, the recordings play back on any device.

Fraps 100 billion percent. Everything else is shit and lags your game. With YouTube new 60FPS option it is not smart to do anything lower than that when advertising your game.

The one fault people think Fraps has it that you can't record your screen with it (since it only locks into application windows), but you can easily do it, and in that regard it kicks the shit out of Camtasia/Hypbercam and nearly all other screen recording software.

Best quality with least frame drops.

I've found Bandicam to be very useful, I used to use fraps, but if you're running on a shoestring budget like me right now.  Bandicam and Movie Maker (or any video editor) works well.

I tried taking my FRAPS videos to make trailers but the file sizes are way too large and had to find the right codec that didn't look like the internets first youtube video.

Fraps all live footage then re-encode in Adobe Premiere/Media encoder into a reasonable size

I've had really positive experiences with OBS (and it's free!)

Yea I'll second OBS. Not many export options, but that's what I use other software for anyway.

You can also download ''GifCam'' on the Internet for free to create .GIF's of your game. It is a really flexible tool with simple settings that is easy to understand for everyone. You can then use those .GIF's to promote your product on social media channels. Twitter accepts the GIF format.
