Best Video-recording program?

[sevenshotzzzz]

So i'm thinking of making video clips or tutorials for games using a good software. I'd like it if its free, or considerably cheap. I've tried Fraps but the files were a little big and it slowed my computer down very low (though I still have it to record FPS). I've tried Growler Guncam and it didn't work with my computer (the "sound" and "gmp, jpg, etc" folders were hidden). I was thinking of getting Camtasia or CamStudio, but my friends said it is not good for gaming. I'm thinking of playing low-ish end games like Starcraft and Warcraft, just it shouldn't be a memory hog like Fraps...

Any suggestions?

Try WMCapture. After long trial and error I found that to be the best. It does cost $39.95, but they let you try it for 30 days - so you can see for yourself. I made a lot of tutorials with it - but not gaming. Have a look at my Vimeo site - all videos there were made with WMCapture. For lossless editing I use this program.
