Build and Shoot

I'm trying to make a few videos, but I'm wondering which one to use. So could you suggest which one you use? And also I prefer a free one, since I don't wanna spend my money.

I use the free trial version of bandicam, its like fraps(software wise) but takes up less data. The trial version allows for ten minutes of recording with the bandicam watermark. A water mark is just a banner in your video, the bandicam watermark is at the top center and is mostly transparent. Bandicam can also record both your desktop and in game as it uses direct X. The paid version is around 40 dollars or so(might be wrong) but it would be wroth it if I felt like paying.

So the free trial runs out? Or does it just allow your videos to be 10 minutes long?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out. (10 minutes per file) Thanks alot!

What settings are good? Because my computer is very slow, so what settings would you reccomend? Because when I play, it gets kinda jerky, or laggy, but it doesn't really show that much on the video when you watch it. But it does really make my playing bad.

I also use Bandicam, and it is jerky when I am recording Ace of Spades too. But when I play minecraft, it's fine. (Pretty good)

I am fine when recording AoS but when I try minecraft is unplayable with it, I would check the website as it has a lot of tips to boost your performance.

That's weird. Opposite for me. Wish I had it like you, since I play AoS way more!

If I turn down the resolution for AoS, it works ok. So I guess I'll just not have the best quality videos.

Fraps works fine for me.

I tried it, and it works awesome, except that in the demo you can only have 30 second videos, and I have no money to spend right now.

Get dxtory, no lag when playing and recording your games, plus it has no watermark, and you can record over 10 minutes.

This works awesome!!! Thanks!

Fraps FTW!

For me, Fraps works good. My fps is 25-40 so it's good.

I like fraps, but it only lets you record for 30 secconds, unless you pay.
