Software Best FREE screen recorder to make an Orbiter film?

[VincentMcConnell]

I just downloaded the SpaceX add-on and it totally gave me the idea to film a SpaceX launch cinematic. However, my MSI Afterburner doesn't work on Orbiter. Does anyone know of any screen recorders I can download for free that will allow me to make a good quality Orbiter movie?

(Also, I'm not sure if this is in the right place. It might not be. So if not, can a mod please move it to the correct place?)

Fraps will do it. The free version is more of a demo. Want the full working version, you will have to pay, as you do with most things.

Try Camstudio (http://camstudio.org/). Works for me. Sometimes.

I found the Camstudio codec to work just as good as the Fraps one - although I am on a pretty ancient machine so I don't know what it would do on a rig geared up for this sort of thing.

I, on the other hand, found CamStudio to be useless, as it wouldn't record sound as mother board didn't have a loopback in its sound chips. I'm currently using BB FlashBack Express.

I know a youtuber who uses a free open source program called Taksi to do all his StarCraft 2 recordings. All his videos are very high quality (1080p), so it seems to work well. I assume he uses the development branch since the stable version is over 6 years old now.

I also know he uses the x264 codec.

If you want to take a look at one of his SC2 videos where he's recording with Taksi, you can have a look here:
