Record Games

does anyone knows a good tool to record pc game in high quality? i used Camstudio but it doesn't record the sound and the quality of the video is so poor.

fraps - locks your framerate at what it's recording, so this is not good for recording entire games.
dxtory - most customizable, I never got it to record smoothly without it lowering the framerate of the game a lot during the trial. You may have different results.
Xfire is a gaming chat app that can record games pretty well without dropping the game's framerate, but it doesn't have a lot of options.
playclaw - haven't tried this one.

thanks for the list.

I'm curious about Playclaw. I've heard really good and really bad things about it but havent tried it yet.
