I am looking for a decent screen recorder, even if I have to pay. I was looking at random BYOND videos on youtube and came across a one that has a screen recorder that looks OK.

Greetings Howey.
Are you going to create a promotional video of a game, or do you seek to create a step by step tutorial? For a tutorial like the one you linked to I'd recommend using Wink. It's a free, yet very powerful tool that creates interactive flash files. You get better performance, because Wink uses screenshoots and animates mouse/keyboard events, so you can drop the file size while you increase quality. If you want to promote a game through BYOND's new neat video functionality, then I'd go browsing How-to-record-computer-game-videos-for-youtube. Personally, I'd go with Taksi, as it's a free, open source alternative to FRAPS. | |
I can suggest HyperCam for speed. It can't record at high resolution but quality is configureable and can end up real good. But quality won't be good after uploading to YouTube
For good quality on YouTube try InstantDemo. It can record at any resolution, but it lowers amount of colors to make it take less space. However it is much slower. When you record around 3-4 minutes file takes over 100mb, then after converting becomes 2-3mb (around 0.7mb per minute) (for sure depends on quality you want to end up with). After uploading on YouTube it almost won't loose quality and should end up good with little color loss. P.S. Don't make long videos with it, once ended up with 40GB+. Didn't even bother converting | |
You could also try the recorder built into Windows.
Lummox JR wrote an article on it, and in the comments Alathon posted a link to an article on optimizing videos for YouTube: http://www.byond.com/members/ DreamMakers?command=view_post&post=52872 | |
Howey. Your planning to steal icons useing a screen recorder and a frame by frame video editor aint you? AINT YOU?!?!?!
| |
That's old school. These days people use extractors :) That way you get not only icons but sounds, and skin. As well proper quality and timing icons
| |
Camstudio is also an option. I heard that coming from someone on these forums, actually, a while ago. Piratehead said it too I'm betting.

I tend to be more out-of-sync with Free Software that's not available for Linux; but thanks for the link! I've bookmarked it so I can try it out and perhaps suggest it in the future.

I believe FRAPS can do screen recording...
