Open Source Screen Recording Apps

[Infiltrator]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of any open source program for recording the computer screen. I am currently using Fraps, while I play WoW and its only a 30 days trial. I am looking for something open source or something that doesn't have expirity.

You comments will be much appreciated.

picpick is free but only does stills does not do video ... but is very good ... oppose to snagit which used to be awesome and is now poop

i cant suggest an open source / free app but ... magix movie editor is cool if you can source it cheaply enough ;)

I think you should use some screen recorder, which can help you capture whatever streaming video and audio files on your screen, and it can help you record full screen. I often use it to help me record halo video games when I was playing on computer, and the video quality is also good. I share the video to my friends, they said the video was cool.
