What is a good free screen recorder?

I want to upload some stuff to youtube.

 

BB Flashback.

I personally using FastStone Capture (Win7) & SnagIt (XP Pro)

 

Ashampoo Snap 3 can be found for free although for Windows 7 and Vista I don't believe it can capture audio except from a mic.

Expression Encoder imports and encodes video files, produces live webcasts, enhances media with watermarks and advertising, and publishes with Silverlight.

the bottom left one you want
Expression Encoder 4 with SP1 thats the free recorder

 

I use HyperCam 3.

You could give a shot to "Free Screen To Video" 2.0.

Trying Cam Studio.

 

Cam Studio wasn't my bag of tea. Trying the Micro one.

 

Which records sound that is playing from the computer?
