!! Best Screen Recording Software

Hey guys,

I am looking for the best screen recording software..

My aim is to record my ingame activities and recording some desktop activity..

I have heard that Fraps is good but still want some opinions over it :)

Let me know you point of view

Thanx

for games it is fraps.

And for normal desktops activity..?

camtasia studio FTW !

i remember using a macromedia program, i think it was called coldfusion, to record my desktop :P

Thanx for ur suggestions guys :)
