I prefer fraps, its what most youtubers use anyways. some people will seperate sound into audacity for editing purposes. i really shouldn't give you advice though, you are a lot more versed on pc stuff than i am...

also if you are really getting into the gaming thing i think a lot of people are using twitch.tv which also has a recording feature, then you can rip videos to youtube.

I'm not really looking to make a lot of videos, I was showing my friend some saints row 4 clips on youtube last night and one guy just stood there and got shot so I made a demonstration of how to use all your superpowers and fight the police forever and win, etc etc. I can't imagine doing this all the time, I either have to wait an hour and a half for mplayer to shrink the video or spend an hour and a half uploading it to youtube, all for something less than 5 minutes long

it gets faster the more you do it. some big lets players do up to 1000 videos a year. if only i could play games 9 hours a day
