I’m trying to make a few “Let’s play” videos and well I couldn’t really dig up much about Camstudio, if anyone knows if its safe or not that’d be great. Or if there was a safe way to record/capture my computer screen that’d be great.
Thanks
Edit: In General is Source forge a good freeware site? I’m not really letting my guard down, but I really don’t know if there are good affordable products out there. Has anyone got any malware from Source forge?
Camstudio is a legit one. If possible, forget sourceforge and download it at cnet.com instead. I cant assure the security of sourceforge, but I heard that it has some piracywares that make it kinda dodgey.
Seems OK to me:

Hmm it doesn’t look too good
Is there any safe program that I can use to caputure games footage?
I used these before: hypercam and camtasia. Both are not free. Trial/limited only.
One of those “come on demos” Eh?
Try it, you’ll like it

yes, camtasia is a very flexible one yet, not free. hypercam, on the otherhand, is very limited and has watermark on free version. I cant find a reason why he dont like camstudio. Camstudio is as flexible as camtasia and way better than hypercam since hypercam is very lame when recording.

I just need something to record gameplay footage, if there isn’t any free and safe ones are there any commercal ones that don’t cost alot?
Well I found something called VirtualDUb it’s on Sourceforge so can someone confirm its safe?
Yes,it is very safe
I just have to say, Sourceforge is a great site. Lots of open-source programs. I haven’t had a single problem, and have downloaded software from them for years.
VirtualDub is an awesome program.
This is what I and the vast majority of pc gamers use.
+1, good open source software 
VirtualDub is an awesome program.
Haven’t used it much myself, but you can download a portable version from here if you wanted to test it:

This version installs to one folder, not actually on the machine, making it easier to uninstall - just delte the folder when you want to uninstall - great for testing it
One of the many benifits to OSS ;D
