Such as to post on youtube.com or vimeo.com etc
Btw, is this the right place to ask the question?

My list so far, but more are welcome:
Video record for DirectX/OpenGL:
* FRAPS ($37; weird: why didn't they make it an even $40 or $39.99 hehe)
Video record for general (desktop videos) (for Torque 3D to see the Qt GUI stuff?):
* BSR Screen Recorder (Bulent's) ($40)
* Camtasia studio ($300), (techsmith also has lightweight Jing) (edit some too)
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_screencasting_software : mentions others
Video recording, edit, convert:
* Windows Movie Maker (free)
* BSR Movie Lab (editing) ($50)
* Camtasia studio ($300) (record and edit some)
* Sony Vegas ($55 to $600)
* Adobe Premier Pro CS4 ($800)
Video convert:
* AVS Video Converter to convert to an appropriate format, bitrate, etc
* Virtual Dub with FFDshow codec for compression
Video upload/host:
* youtube.com (more popular standard)
* vimeo.com (higher quality, owned by same parent company as GG) (concerns that they might delete your video since it's a game video, and that's against the EULA?)

I second FRAPS. It has great performance and doesn't bog the game down as much as other recording software.

I have used Taksi in the past, it's free and open source, but it doesn't record sound.

I'm a big fan of Windows Movie Maker... i use it for all the videos i do. There are some extensions for it that you can find via google that allow you to output HD quality video formats on XP (HD is supporting in Vista).

I've used Fraps to capture and Camtasia to edit. Camtasia is a bit spendy on the $300 side, though.

I picked up a free version of Camtasia a year/so ago from TechSmith....!FTW

I use Camtasia for capture and blocking; sound/voice is a nice bonus, capture options are helpful as well...I picked up a free version of Camtasia a year/so ago from TechSmith....!FTW
