Joey Kuhn: What is a good software to use for recording stuff on the computer screen?
I want to record some episodes of Friday Night Cranks, but I need to know a good software to record it. Does anyone know of any free software, or if not free at least any software?

I would recommend using Camtasia studio 7. It’s not free but most of the free screen recorders don’t work very good.

You can read up on camtasia here:

I recommend PCHand Screen Recorder, it could record any activities on the screen and the audio whatever u hear. I tried a lot before bought, it’s easier to use. It also provides a free trial version. U could try it. I’m using it and it’s pretty good…Hope it could help!

Try Camtasia if you have enough budget. or try DemoCreator.
Both of them are not free but worth to try.
