The free version also has a 30-sec time limit for video clips. I suppose that's enough. I just stitch a bunch together in Windows MovieMaker.

I use Camstudio since it's freeware. Be advised though that since your computer is low-spec, you'll noticed a drastic decrease in your frame rate, sometimes making the game nigh unplayable. The settings I use for Camstudio are: Compresser: DivX, dual core; Quality: 70; Set key frames: 30; Capture frames every :50; Playback rate:20; Time lapse: max framerate; Bitrate for compressor; 1411 kbps for games. For audio: Recording format 22khz, stereo, 16bit; Compressed format: Lame MP3, 22khz, stereo; Interleave video and audio every 1 frame. I know none of this makes sense, but it probably will if you install it.

Wegame, almost no perfomance impact, completely free, no watermarks, and fair file compression

I just don't like how Fraps hardly compresses the videos at all. If anyone could recommend a good AVI compressor, that'd be great, but for the most part I use Camstudio anyway.

I've used it before, but I remember it screwing up the aspect ratio on the video.

FRAPS can be heavy during online games, but other then that I don't notice a framerate difference that much.

Yeah i'd like to know too. I never really recorded games because i only ever really knew of FRAPS and it was a bit of a system hog, plus the large video files and 30 sec capture.

Yes, fraps is unuseable, far too resource hungry. Good for taking screenshots and checking framerates but not making videos.

The wegame software is the best I've seen, very slight drop in framerate and hardly any mouse lag. It's the best of the bunch. Doesn't work with all games but go to their site and you can see the compatible list.

Ooookay... i just downloaded and installed wegame.. started up mw2, screen goes black and it cuts back to desktop.

When i ask to run it again it asks me whether i want to start it in safe mode, conflict with wegame.

With the Windows Live MovieMaker for Win 7, there's a choice of 4:3 or 16:9.

kinda, you can set it to take screenshots for each frame which you can put together in virtual dub or something. also very handy to make it seem much smoother than it was. example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E73SOe7phP0
