  Hey rJay, I used to use bandicam which has a free flavor ---->http://www.bandicam.com/
  Also if you have a Nvidea card 600 series and up, you can try shadowplay which is free, it can be found in the gforce experience.

  Thanks dude! That's what a lot of people said.. about the Shadow Play. However, no, I have a AMD Dual chipset. :P And Bandicam has a cap of 10 mins. Thanks though!

  Just tested it today... it's amazing.
  It's designed primarily for broadcasting, hence the name.
  
  To enable recording: Settings -> Settings -> Broadcast Settings
  Mode: File Output Only
  
  I set a Record Hotkey to F11 and Stop Recording to F12
  
  It'll allow for overlaying text and images on your videos as well.
  
  To adjust for higher quality recording visit: http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2972
  
  See my recording: [REMOVED: See Explanation]
  
  Explanation: So I discovered that OBS was attempting to calculate key frames on its own and would skip 2-3 seconds of video entirely while continuing to capture audio. I readjusted the settings and found I had to set Keyframe Interval to 2 and Process Priority to Above Normal.
  
  And the videos were fixed. Now I'm reuploading a 1 Hour session on tribes where the video is only 11 GB vs Fraps's famous 4GB per 2-3 minutes.
  
  Okay: Movie Maker is done, YouTube is doing its duty to get this uploaded. Video: http://youtu.be/tLbk9HhiTfw
