I use Fraps, but make sure you have lots of hard drive space because it takes up a lot on mine :P

MSI Afterburner. It automatically compresses your video files unlike Fraps, it records in HD, and for me, I get more FPS than on Fraps.

But it costs-

9-11 Coaster.

Find out what it's like to spin, glide, skim and fly like a giant airplane when you experience "United Airlines Flight 175"® – the only flying roller coaster of its kind in the world. Riders are taunted by a head-first, face-down inverted crash into the twin towers… and that's just the beginning. Experience the full force and power of riding down the twin towers, all on one of the deadliest tracks in the world.

I may have to try that, Fraps always records to my computer, but after I compress it, the video gets to a certain point and freezes.

I may have to try this.

My fraps just gives me massive files, but rendering cuts it down loads, although I may have to try this MSI afterburner :P

Did several tests this morning...its amazing. It's going to make editing so much easier.

Thanks again Neville.

Mene watch some of the youtube tutorials. It will really help. It does not record your ts apparently (according to some) but there is a work around.

I use FRAPS and Sony Vegas. Any recording program will work, but just make sure you don't use something like Windows Movie Maker to edit it, so little options, and it fails rendering a lot (for me at least).

It records the ts, it just doesn't record you when you're talking for some reason.

Nah, it's just that not everyone wants to spend 37 bucks on something that does everything better for free.
