Capturing video harder than depots

You wouldn't believe how much time I spent today trying to get a free video capture program that did what I wanted, and how I wanted it. With this new PR role, I wanted to get set up so that I can not only include screenshots in my reports and articles, but videos as well. Considering my computer specs, I can afford to run a video capture while ingame and still play very comfortably with FPS, and it would make for better news, I believe.

Anyhow, I download FRAPS and discover a host of things that don't suit me - obviously the 30 second limit - but the sound doesn't work either. I cannot record sound, it seems, from the game. Slightly annoying. Well, more than slightly annoying!

Then, I try CamStudio in which I encounter the same problem. I cannot get it to recognise a sound device and therefore it will not record ingame sounds. A video without ingame sounds isn't that great, and can become tedious rapidly. So I'm stuck at a crossroads with no clue which way to head, as I delve into the universe of - most likely - having to pay for a program.

So which program do I get? Which one can I guarantee will work with my sound? Which one has the quality and doesn't strain my computer too much? Then there's the issue of image hosting. At least that's a little more simple!

Anyhow, I didn't give up, but I deferred that struggle for tomorrow, while I instead racked up a 15 kill mission in Grobbendonk, followed by two 6 kill missions and capped off with a 10 kill mission. A few bomb runs and a discussion of the theatre and I am ready to hit the hay. All in all, it seems it's far easier to capture depots than it is to capture video!
