I would like to record videos from some games I am playing. I tried Fraps, but it had problems sometimes with recording audio. To be more precise, it was missing sometimes. I need software which would record such video without any limitations in time. What I definitely don´t want to have are some annoying watermarks. It doesn't matter if software is free, it just needs to meet the requirements mentioned above.

I would recommend:
- OBS Studio: https://obsproject.com/
Other candidates:
- VLC, how to do it: https://www.wikihow.com/Screen-Capture-to-File-Using-VLC
- ScreenToGif https://www.screentogif.com/ -it is also possible to install some plugins for video formats.
One can use TechSmith Camtasia:
- Windows 7 (and >7)
- non-free
- plenty of features
- high-quality recording
I've used it to record video games.

2Note that Nvidia Shadowplay works through Geforce Experience and a supported dedicated Nvidia GPU, which is basically any GTX or RTX GPU since the 600 series (but not the mobile GT versions).– NzallMay 29, 2022 at 20:29

1@Thomas Weller It saies for Вandicam Screen Recorder "Windows 10, 11 compatible", but that doesn´t automatically mean that Windows 7 is not suported. I read somewhere it even still suports XP.– convertJan 11 at 19:13
VSDC Video Editor has Screen Recorder function to record video. I have to admit that it's not the best solution, but the other 2 solutions that I would prefer to this one count as spam here.

1"it's not the best solution" - Why is it not the "best" solution? Does it meet the requirements mentioned above? "the other 2 solutions that I would prefer to this one count as spam here" - What do you mean? What "other 2 solutions"?– MrWhiteFeb 7 at 14:17
