Desktop video recorder

Need a program that will record a file being retouched in photoshop. Google throws up a myriad of useless results and I feel like i've just been installing and uninstalling absolute crap for the past hour. Needs to be good quality, high framerate, and more-over doesn't make my bloody mouse flicker when it's recording! It makes retouching very hard work! Don't mind having to pay for something but it better come with a trial because my current experience of Desktop recorders isn't the most pleasant.

Fraps now moniters Aero window management. Not free though.

Camtasia Studio. Pretty pro with quite a few options.

Windows Media Encoder has worked well for me in the past and is completely free.

Windows Media Encoder has been the best so far (though a seemingly limited number of output resolution options for Desktop recording) but it absolutely murders redraw speed in Photoshop! I'l give Camtasia Studio a whirl.

Edit: Camstasia seems absolutely perfect! Cheers Macky
