What program should you use to capture PC video game footage? Fraps. While not free, it does do everything I need for it to do. It handles both video and audio capture pretty well (there are a few bugs) but if you can look past that – it is a handy program to have. You can use it for benchmarking, screen capture or video capturing too.
