Im looking for a good freeware/open source/GNU GPL software that can help me record at least 5 minutes of game play with audio. As a secondary request a nice desktop capture option would be nice to for building tutorials on using programs or installing things for family and friends.

Yes, but its not open source/GPL.

True but it is freeware last I checked.

Taksi doesn't capture audio.

hows the quality on X-Fire's captures? Id love FRAPS but cant spare the cash for something that would be "just for fun"

And that works... thank you, perfect and it uploads them for me to a linkable source or i can encode the raw video myself or edit the locally stored files...
