I need to know.
If you've recorded Spiral Knights videos before, please tell me which program you use to record it and any other bit of helpful information.
How does one record Spiral Knights with a decent or perfect framerate?

None of those work at all.
I don't even have a reaction to this.

I use camstudio because I'm lazy...but not many like it for games (and its not meant for games anyway) so I won't bother telling the settings unless requested.

Well if it can record Spiral Knights at a decent or perfect framerate, tell me these settings you use with it and I'll download it right away.

Fraps Full Edition Does it...
Fraps is capable of doing this because it doesn't compress the files as it records. So you get the recording you want, although you'll get a ridiculously large AVI file you'll need to deal with afterwards =)

Compressor (whatever you feel like, I use Xvid at home, Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec V2 at school)
Quality 100
If you have the autoadjust slider on then just slide it until the "set key frames...
you know what, forget it, here's a picture.

I'd like to note that this is like this solely so audio and video is synchronized. If "capture frames every" and "playback rate" don't multiply to 1000, then you'll get audio lag, but if you can't/don't want to record audio it doesn't really matter and you can up the frame rate to whatever you want. I like 20. 30 and 60 may be what you're looking for but that won't multiply to 1000. I'm not in love with quality anyway.
As far as recording sound if you want to do that, it depends on your windows setup. Like WinXp seems good enough to just use "record audio from speakers", but my win7 computer this doesn't work on (it works now after I got a driver from another laptop company's brand to enable "stereo mix").
As far as which version of camstudio to use, it doesn't seem to make much difference to me, that screenshot is from version 2.00, but at home I use whatever the current beta is.

glc-capture
hi i use glc-capture its free(open source) software and u can get amazing result (u can see my videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlaGiQLY9aA )
recording is always hardware consuming, but it help if u dont compres the recorded video on the fly and if u store the raw fotage to physically different hdd (so u play from one hdd and record to other)
my computer is weak (intel dual core 2gb ram), but i can still record in 1680x1050.

Don't use CamStudio, it's horrible.
I use Dxtory for capturing my videos, but Fraps will also work. I use the lossless codec to capture the video and get full framerates, then I use vegas to mix together the voice and game audio (since dxtory can record them separately) and compress with xvid before uploading to the youtubes.

The best way to record is to record to a seperate HDD that windows and the game is NOT installed onto.
This will give you much better performance. Oh and an external drive will not be fast enough(usb limitation)
I'm using ffmpeg to cature the whole screen - best results at exactly half or one third the native refresh rate with vsync etc.
recordscreen.py is useful if you don't like reading manuals.
