I use a professional version at work, I think we pay a license, but it seems you can download a free version, like here: http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Bureautique/presentation/fiches/2211.html

camstudio produces crappy videos with only 1 frame per second or something, could figure out what codec to use, perhaps i need to reduce my screen resolution !?
are there any tutorials on how to set up a performant cam studio system ?!?!

i have 6 cores at 2,4 ghz, and an up to date gfx card, so my computer should be able to create at least 25fps videos ....

You need CamStudio Lossless Video Codec v1.4 (optional).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/files/legacy/CamStudioCodec-1.4-w32.zip/download
Install it and use for compression.

I tested many screen recorder.

I use http://www.utipu.com/ for its simplicity
And i use http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx fore more complex screen recording, and it's the only one i found that record all sound correctly (instead of just microphone input), which is needed when you want to record that kind of stuff (wanted the sound output of Ableton Live) :

tutorials: google search > Video "camstudio" = tons of tuts
codec: camstudio has a lossless codec, when your hd is not 10 years old this should fit your needs (but you'll have to transcode for streaming)>sorry didn't read slon_ru's advice before
resolution: camstudio should be able to record a single window or a predefined area of your screen, so no need to change resolution.

camstudio is surely no proffesional tool, but it's free even for commercial use.

I used CamStudio, it's not perfect but gets the job done:

Also used the excellent Lagarith lossless codec.

omg i got it installed, on my 64 bit system, but the codec is more than crap, i just recorded a window ( ultrafractal ) and it records
just some crappy screens, with horrible flickering and horrible colors ... has anyone experience with losless codec using win7 on a 64 bit system ?!?!?

wow, thank you for the hint, i just bought the program, it costs just ~50€ which is a reasonable price the camtasia software cost 300€ which is far far far to high. and the uvcam just made what i expected, a nice clean video sctream nearly realtime ...

ok, and i now can produce the tutorial video stuff - creating an own mandelbulb formula within ultrafractal ;)

happy easter!
