Good screen recording software?

With the announcement of the game shutting down, I just know that in a few years I'll be feeling nostalgic and want to see video of some of my old characters in action. What's the best software to use to capture gameplay, including sound?

Thanks.

It's ironic to think that instead of giving NCSoft more money to play the game, I'll end up buying Fraps so that I can record its end.

Also, I wish I had a better graphics card. :-(

FFmpeg should do the trick.
