jFarley:
Anybody got any recommends on screen video recording apps for Win 7 and Win 8?  Target for videos will be You Tube.

Cheap (meaning free) highly desired!

Thanks for any input here.

Oliver:
Here are a few options to your request .

I have never used one of these as a recorder but have been using the VLC as a player for years with great satisfaction.
Especially since you can embed all kinds of codecs into the software to play different types of media, including DVDs with regional code.

I hope this helps you to make a decision.

A year or so ago I tried CamStudio, one of the popular freebies recommended for making video screencaps.  I never could get the thing working smoothly - too much stuttering.  Might perform better with a proper video card rather than the basic mobo video on my PC.

You might also check with Kilokat7.  He's posted several video screencaps from his SDR recordings.

Fred Smith:
I've used SMR recorder. Seems to work pretty well. I think it's free as well.

I use VLC most of the time for screen capture but have had a tough time getting the audio input set along with the video record. Maybe it's just me.

Kilokat7:
I get good results with Camstudio and the Camstudio lossless codec under Win7.  I then upload the AVIs to Youtube using Windows Live Moviemaker at an HD resolution.  All free.  Unfortunately I haven't figured a way around the 2gb file size limit imposed on the AVI file.  2gb doesn't go far when capturing the SDR's live waterfall.
