For mac, since quicktime
For mac, since quicktime sucks, I use iShowU HD. Demo version leaves a watermark, pro version doesnt. But both allow you to change framerate, quality, video size, etc.
It works even with a crappy Pro 13 inch with an i5. Its designed for speed.
Pretty sure its available for windows as well.

I used to use Fraps but due to its excessive disk usage, I have to use Open Broadcaster Software currently. I plan on upgrading my HDD to 4TB and once I do, I'm going back to Fraps due to better preformance when recording. I mean, you can't just keep on using 30fps when YouTube support up to 60!
Juvon has told us about some nice programs. I believe that if you know your way around Dxtory, it'll pretty much be superior to Fraps in all ways possible, as it has tons and further tons of settings while Fraps is about as complex as mashed potatoes. I don't know anything about Bandicam, so I can't say how it compares, though.
A program which I like to use is named Nvidia Shadowplay (which is free, but requires(?) some nvidia specifications to meet). I'm not sure if it works with Spiral Knights as it's a java application. It, however, has never ceased to amaze me with other games.
ShadowPlay does indeed require a GTX 600 series card or higher. My experience with it was that it recorded in terrific quality and with little to no extra lag at all (EDIT: I tried ShadowPlay again and it absolutely sucked in terms of preformance when recording SK). However, I also found it to be rather buggy and problematic to use. For example, the audio often seemed to desync or be downright missing. The selling point of the program is pretty amazing, though. You can, at any point, save up to the last 20 minutes of gameplay as a video file so there's no need to already be recording when you make magic happen. ShadowPlay works the best with DirectX games, but you can use it with anything on your PC if you enable desktop recording.

I use Open Broadcaster Software, but it has a nasty habit of crashing quite a few of my games (and one of those includes Kerbal Space Program, something that really angers me) while on SK, it just gives a black screen...I should really register Bandicam.

OBS is free and easy to use,
OBS is free and easy to use, but gives "meh" quality most of the time. Bandicam is fairly cheap and has a fair amount of quality without using too much disk space. Fraps has a high quality but uses an extremely large amount of space. Camtasia is more expensive yet gives an even higher quality, built-in editing, and allows you to upload footage directly from a compressed camtasia file without using up much disc space.

I generally use Fraps, and just use Freemake Video Converter to drastically cut down on the file size to a .mp4. I can go from 5 GB to 500 MB just by doing that, which would make uploading a lot less effort if I ever felt like doing it, which I don't.
People mostly use Bandicam, Dxtory. Some still use Fraps.
Some people also use streaming software to locally record, with a free program like Open Broadcaster Software or a paid one named Xsplit.
