Can someone suggest a good program to use? I have heard of Fraps but am not sure of the choices out there.

Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.  Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!

Fraps is the most popular one as it's cheap and very simple to use. The raw video of it is very good quality as well

This is the wrong place to ask. The Technology Lab forum is the closest thing to the right place to ask, there or GD.

Another vote for Fraps. One of only two pieces of software I've paid to register, as it is worth it.

The second that I paid to register I'm not thrilled with: DivX. I of course I registered this one to use with Fraps, because Fraps uses its own non-standard CODEC, and DivX seemed like a good idea at the time as it was more widely supported.

Unfortunately the DivX drag-and-drop conversion software doesn't like Fraps files (at least in the many versions I tried). You have to use an editor like VirtualDub to access the DivX CODEC directly. Also the settings are without any official documentation that I could find.

FRAPS -> ffmpeg/x264 on a Linux box

(I have a script that resizes the video, concatenates all the AVI files together, and outputs a x264 MKV file)

Alternately, AVIDemux on Windows isn't too bad at doing the same thing.

Oracle's free (see license) VirtualBox makes running Linux under Windows easy.

Tip: select bridged mode for networking (NAT is the default) on the Ethernet interface in the VirtualBox settings.
