Help In Recording Desktop

[Pickle]

I would like to be able to take a video of my application so i can show the progress that ive made.
I would rather not use my camcorder to do it, so....

Does anyone know of any free software that can record the desktop or single windows?
This would be for windows. I might be able do linux.
(This would then be uploaded to youtube, I dont have server capability)

I've used Bulent's Screen Recorder before and found that good to use.
It's now shareware but the last freeware version is at the bottom of the page.

Ill try Fraps, which I heard about for benchmarks. I didnt know it also recorded.
I have a backup plan also, I found a program called CamStudio which also is free and can record the desktop.
Thanks guys.

I use ZD Soft ScreenRecorder - it's the best one for me!
It's downloadable as shareware, and with that you can record 5min (when you buy it you'll have more options and unlimited recording time). Go for a try, it's worth .....

stay cheesey

Ill give it a look.

I dont think Fraps is going to work for what i want. It appears to only work for fullscreen/accelerated games. Mine is just in a a window for the time being.

I've just had a play with that CamStudio, it's pretty good.
Even managed to get a full screen grab of my desktop for 30 seconds while only dropping a few frames (running at 1280*1024)

I think i might stick with Camstudio, the ZD Soft version looks good, but theres now way im throwing down $50 for it. CamStudio does what i need for free.
