If you have an nvidia card, the new version of your drivers (if you also install the geforce experience) has native streaming/recording capabilities.
If you mean the Shadowplay functionality, it's worth bearing in mind that's only available on 600/700 series GPUs. If not, I may just have to give that a shot myself.
As for the OP, I can honestly recommend OBS as being pretty good. Incredibly good for being free. The performance hit from the on-the-fly x264 encoding is surprisingly low, too. (this will depend on your CPU, of course) Plus you're not being forced to use the icky x264vfw, which as we all know causes many diseases.

Works fine on my 560Ti. Quality has issues though.
I use Fraps. Mainly because it says it boosts your FPS (i dont think its true) But it is still a great screen recorder. Caution thought the files are huge! To upload 1 video to youtube in the 7-14 minute range it takes anywhere from 100-170 minutes, So i put it through Camtasia Studios so it makes the files smaller in size. It is under personal preference though...
well most of the screen recorders i used would not record minecraft. it would show what it would look like if minecraft was in a tab while minecraft is actulaly open

I'm back from my hibernation. Most likely gone so don't pm me.
The only free one that works on my PC is krut. All others either do not support x64, cost money, or don't record properly. Krut is java-based, so it is platform-independent and should work anywhere java does.

There is no reason at all for a screen recorder to be 64-bit.
Most screen recorders I try give an error that they do not support amd64 platforms. I have not tried fraps or any non-free ones, however.
.......That is not how 64 bit works. 32 bit programs are 100% compatible with 64 bit OSes and CPUs.
What screen recorder are you even getting that error from?
That error only appears if you try and run an 8 or 16 bit application from the early 1990s on a modern 64 bit OS. And I doubt there even exists an 8 or 16 bit screen recorder.

OT: Bandicam, action!, fraps or dxtory.
Buuuut... personal preference, yo.

You are supposed to edit and encode the video into something watchable and manageable, not upload the raw files.
"people have said" is completely different from what you said which was "it says".

I don't know about that. Most of the popular free recorders out there are 64 bit.
Being java-based means nothing.
