FRAPs mostly, a few use DXTory but i know a few have had a LOT of trouble with it lately, Totalbiscuit lost several hours of footage simply because it said it was recording and wasn't

Fraps + Screenflow are main ones.

I've never heard of Screenflow.
Oh... It's for mac... That explains it... Almost nobody uses a mac to record Minecraft, or at least not any of the ("professional") YouTubers I watch.

The free version of FRAPS can only record for 30 seconds.

There is no free version of Sony Vegas that I know of.

I use Dxtory, works great. :3
I also have Fraps, but it's only if I have any issues with Dxtory. Which has not happened yet.

Fraps, Camtasia Studio, Dxtory, bandicam, Or whatever works for you. You should definitely check out some tutorials and see which ones interface you prefer the most. I know personally that Dxtory's UI can be a little difficult to penetrate at first

Penetrate? O.o
Uh, Most people use fraps. xD

I mainly use Smartpixel game capture software because of the fraps file is too large to upload to youtube.

The idea is to compress the video file down with a program such as Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker etc before uploading to Youtube. I think it may have been mentioned before(?), but video capturing programs write raw files to disk as it would take too much processing power to compress them at the same time

A lot of them are moving to Shadowplay, which is what a lot of the people I watch use. I've also seen then use Mirillis Action.

No real professional uses Vegas, it's terrible. Premiere Pro is by far better and has integration with pretty much all other adobe softwares.

Shadowplay doesn't work with opengl games, what the heck are you talking about?

Just out of curiosity, what makes you call Vegas terrible? And I mean... actual flaws in use/functionality, not just things you personally dislike.

Lack of CUDA acceleration, or any real GPU acceleration for that matter. It's been a while since I tried it though.

You're right, but you can record your desktop, and then record Minecraft, or anything of the sort.

Never tried it, but Shadowplay still requires having a Kepler based Nvidia gpu, so it won't work for everyone.

Yeah, but most "youtubers" have higher end PC's, and tend to go nVidia, because they can afford it.
