I've finally come to the realization that if I want to make FSX videos I'll have to pay some money. So, does anyone know what the best and most reputable video recording software for FSX is?

Thanks!

Fraps is a little expensive for me, do you know of any other comparable ones?

Thanks, but the video it produces is really pixelated and bad.

Oh, and you do know that Fraps has a free demo version that works just fine. 

Most videos are made using the free version. 

I would say to make a PROPER video I would use an external device to record. For example If your graphics card have RCA or S-VIDEO outputs, connect it to a video recorder (the way you recorded movies from TV. some typed of camcorders have RCA or SVIDEO inputs,and can also record from a source), then after all clips and scenes have been recorded, then import the recorded clips to your PC with the software provided for (windows movie maker if you have nothing) then ULEAD video studio would do a nice job, or even a full version of NERO would do. (Again Windows movie maker if you dont have ULEAD Studio ect)

well I havent tried it yet, but I cannot think that it would not work, so it is in my opinion the best way. then you have unlimited time, dont have the fraps overlay, and you dont slow your PC down with the recording program as wellwhich have an influence on your game quality and movie. ,(most of the movies made with Fraps and similar is not smooth - the result of using ur PC for gameplay as well as recording)

In some of my videos I didnt use fraps I used a free screen recorder. Google search free screen recorders and you can find some pretty good screen recorders that arent bad at all but buying fraps is defiantly worth it if your going to use it alot and make videos.

P.S.--Thanks for recommending my videos!
