Question for the guru's

[virus67]

got a Q for a movie editing guru, im using a program called FRAPS to record videos of myself playing games and it works great but it doesnt pick up any sound, can anyone reccomend me a program that captures live video and sound thats on ur screen? Ive had no luck searching for one or asking people so i thought id ask here. Well, i did find one program (i think it was called camcapture or something similar) that claimed to be a freeware that did what i wanted but it was seriously bugged and the sound sounded horrible.

Windows Media Encoder 9 has that feature but it saves it as WMV

Hey, thanks, for the question and the answer. I was wondering about this, too, and no luck with SnagIt, which I thought did this.

Camtasia or SnagIt...

Windows Media Encoder? is that part of win media player 9? or do i have to get that seperately? Someone said snagit doesnt work so ill try camtasia and see if itll work in games (does it have a hotkey function for recording so i dont have to alt tab?).

First off: thanks for the replys, i tried camtasia, id did exactly what i wanted it to do, itll need some adjusting to get it smooth while im playing a game itself but im sure i can get it right, the only problem is that its meant for desktop so it records the mouse in games too (u see the white mouse cursor through the screen), trying to work a way around that, giong to try snagit next.
