Have you taken a look at WeGame?
I'm not sure how it compares with quality, but I didn't notice much of a difference between that and other programs while using it. It also allows you to upload directly to the Wegame site after recording; from the program, even. You can also take the videos and upload them to Youtube or wherever you wish using the usual means.
I know you said free, but I'll just say I think Fraps is worth the money.

Soooo nothing's change. Wegame and fraps. 
Ok, cool, thanks yall.
Be well, people of CoH.
Oh, say, while we're on the subject, what's a good video editor I can use? I'm currently using Windows Movie Maker 2.6, which I had to get specifically for Windows 7, but that's a little crude. Timing accuracy isn't as good as it can be, as even on the highest zoom, it still jumps in big steps.
I've tried a few other FREE editors, but none of them were any good. Or indeed as free as advertised. One didn't even give me a timer pop-up when editing, forcing me to eyeball it by the timer ruler, which is AWFUL.

You might try VirtualDub, or VirtualDubMod, Sam. I've taken to using SOny Vegas as of late.. but I used VDub before that.

Wait, isn't VirtualDub used for dubbing? I used to have that on a hard drive that fried at some point. Can it do things like splice video together?

It's used for a lot of things, including but not limited to dubbing. One of the things I do use it for is to splice videos together, although it's been a very long time (ie several versions ago, probably) since I tried that and I used AVISynth anyway.|

One of the things I remember about VirtualDub was that the creator made it mostly due to Sailor Moon.

That's odd. I read up on VirtualDub, and it strikes me more as a video CAPTURING software, rather than a video EDITING software. It keeps talking about formats and capture devices and framerates and such, whereas I'm more interested in precise timing for the flow from one video into another. I'll have to give it a look, but it's... Odd.|

*edit*
Yeah, having tried that, it's really not what I was looking for. Working with multiple video files on this is just... Murder. I'll see if I can find a copy of that old video I did to show you what I'm looking for.
*edit*
There we go! Here's my old Punchin' Dudley video. The timing on the video is quite a bit off, I suspect from Photobucket's recompression. I lost the original, so that's the only copy I have these days.

Most of my experience with VirtualDubMod (I forget exactly what the differences are with vanilla VirtualDub) are with AviSynth. When you mentioned splicing the video, what I thought you meant was taking two different video files A and B (of similar formats and frame sizes), and then sticking A and B together into AB, like using glue, rather than mixing them together into a new product C.|

That's what I remember doing: creating a... one-line? Two-line? Whatever... Avisynth file, and running that into VirtualDubMod, and saving the output as the final product. (This was because my old actual video editing software horked up errors when asked to produce files more than 2GB in size. It was pretty sad.) There's probably an easier way, but I was relying on AviSynth anyway. (I probably shouldn't; there's a lot more out there now.)
Other things I remember doing were muxing and demuxing, messing with codecs and sizes, and that's about the limit of my experience.

Thanks, Kellis. I'll probably stick to Windows Movie Maker for the moment. It's what I have the most experience with, and since I tend to do things that are less mechanically complicated and just technically elaborate to set up, that seems the most appropriate. I'm just trying to fit video to music

If you're willing to dual-boot, you might want to give PiTiVi a try.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Well, I defaulted back to Windows Movie Maker despite it wanting to crash a lot, and made this video.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I used WeGame to record my Dark Armor Sucks video, but then edited it with Sony Vegas to add music and whatnot.
The WeGame footage was beautiful, but I couldn't figure out how to make the rendered version with music look better.
Where to now?

Question:
What's the best FREE program for recording gameplay?
Image quality is important. Performance drag not so much so since I'm on a solid rig.
I'd like to be able to upload the vids directly to youtube, but if you can only upload to a specific site (again for free) that'll work as well.
I remember using fraps, but never bought the full version. And wegame I used a time or two.
Thanks for your info.
Be well, people of CoH.
