Ok so I understand I'm very new to the community but hey I love this stuff so I thought I might as well start a discussion about it. What programs do you use to record? Or what about convert with? Or edit with?
I've tried many different programs to record with lol ranging from Fraps to Xsplit and everything in between. Personally I really like the Open broadcasting software as a means to not only record but to do any live streaming (or both at once if you wish)
You can obtain near perfect capture without much frame loss due to the fact obs just doesn't eat away at your resources like some programs IE fraps. Not only that but you can put up your own custom overlays or webcams seamlessly into your recordings. Making for a pretty nice experience. The only downside with OBS that I personally encounter comes in 2 forms. 1. It saves everything in a FLV format that has to be converted (not a deal breaker by any means... just annoying) 2. The game capture function rarely works. So you have to rely on window capture or using video capture devices you can integrate IE Uscreen or Dxtory (dxtory creates way to large of files IMHO tho)
Best part about OBS its free!

As far as a conversion program I'm really a fan of xmedia recode. It's also free and lets you convert a plethora of different file types and that's beyond perfect for me.

Now for video editing or rendering I used to prefer camtasia studio.. but i'll be honest that's an expensive route and for the basic needs of posting to youtube windows movie maker should suffice.
I'm certainly not the best youtuber out there but I do have a passion for it and would love some discussion! <3
