Hi,
I used Amarecco before but it installed a potentially dangerous file on my computer so I stopped using it. However these newer versions I do not believe install any viruses/spyware, etc. They are very hard to find I don't believe the publisher distributes these versions just the latest which is bundled with shareware codec that you have to install so it is no longer freeware.

I've included download link for the two last freeware versions and two plugins that help with capture (i don't know how they work) and the unpackaged versions that work without having to install on your system. As mentioned above you should be careful about installing on your system as an old version of amarecco installed a potentially dangerous file. Try it out on a virtual pc or so first. I've haven't totally tested the two versions out but I believe they work with recording video and some games. By the way on version 3.00a don't install the codec unless you want it to be shareware. I will add more comments as I test the programs' abilities.
