I want to improve the quality of my gaming videos and movies and such so I'm asking here for lack of a better forum or section.
I need to know what software to use because at the moment I'm using windows movie maker and google is proving to be useless.
I'd also like to know if I should be using Fraps for recording my gaming on PC.
Help if you can  |

First off, Welcome to TechIMO.
Your question is kind of broad to be honest. Fraps can be used for certain games, but there are better ways depending on the game to be honest. What game(s) are you trying to make into movies?
As far as software goes, I'm no expert by anymeans. BUT, I know of a few programs that will definetly improve the overall quality of the movies. Sony Vegas is pretty popular, Adobe after effects and Virtual Dub are others that come to mind.
They are all pretty expensive though, so be prepared for that. But when it's done, it's amazing if done right. Like this video for example. Meatshot Vol. 2 • PldX - HD Gaming Movies
(actually that whole site is amazing IMO) |

(actually that whole site is amazing IMO) | Well I'd prefer a program that can be used for any game as I'm not recording for specific games.
I've read about Sony Vegas through googling and apparently it is pretty badly received. I'm really just looking for something that can produce high definition videos for youtube and something that I can use to edit the video or add fancy stuff.
EDIT: I took a look at that link and that's how I'd like my videos to be
EDIT EDIT: Also, Price isn't a problem for me.

Vegas is the best HD video software I have ever used. Nothing even comes close.
Capturing from games is one thing; there is FRAPS for that among other options. But for rendering HD and editing clips, Vegas is the best I've ever used. |
