Out of all the tests that have been done on these different Screen recorders ( and this is a very common question BTW ) it was decided for quality Fraps is the best ( of course it is, it captures allmost completely uncompressed) Which can be a bit of a memory hog. Then next in the list was Growler guncam. It seems every other screen recorder that was tried would either produce poor quality images or would fail on the recording of audio. Those two seemed to be the only ones that didnt have these problems.

videoLan's VLC (which is an amazing movie player) also does screen capture, but you have to run it via the command line, and choose quality, encoding, etc. After that, it works well on low memory. That's what I have used.

But a dedicated program is probably the best.
