video recording program help

[Spoofus]

hey y'all i been thinking of doing a let's play of my own, but i can't really find a program that is noob friendly for the purpose.

i'm not the best and my laptop is well crappy, i mean real crappy  .

I know there are alot of let's plays here now, I am wanting to do this as mainly a test to see if the laptop can handle it.

Well, i myself use Camtasia 7, but i can't guarantee that it will work...
Many use CamStudio, but we all know how much that sucks...
How crappy is your laptop anyway?

my laptop is beyond crappy, i been messing around with camstudio, and it makes the videos look laggy when you rewatch them.

i'll pm you some of the spec if you want, to show you how awful it is

hehe a bad video i made to test the setting

and don't make fun of my voice XD

Hell, my voice is worse than your, so no worries there...
And yeah, it's pretty laggy... I can't guarantee that Camtasia would work on your com, seeing how laggy camstudio is...

There's ten free ones there, maybe one of them will work...

nice i'll try them when i wake up (currently 5am where i am at).
i'm sure one of them is bound to be better.

edit ok i have tried some of those from the link, and i have come to a conclusion
that it actually might be my laptop,it's just really bad in general.

i am still trying to figure out a way to get get it to run smoother when recording hopefully i am successful in the near future.
