I'm thinking about making Youtube videos. What are the best programs to use/ recommendations?

I started playing League of Legends 10-9 months ago and I really want to do more than just play the game.

Where I live [Mexico], there's really no gaming events/places and I want to advertise the game in a positive sense and also create a small community. How do I approach this? Should I just make vidoes that emphasize on what's mostly eye candy [" , ,,, Plays"] or emphasize on the community itself? I'm more willing to go with the first option, but I don't know how -exactly- to create League Videos. I can record them via "Razer Game Booster" from my own perspective, or record them on the unreliable, buggy and crashy LolReplay and create new perspectives/ edit from there. Any recommendations or a helping hand would be nice.

It all depends on if you are willing to spend money or not on a capture software. There are currently 3 very popular capture software options out there with their pros and cons. Fraps is by far the most popular and is used widely in the gaming community. It has been around for a while so it has been refined several times, but many people complain of fps drops while recording. While this is natural some people have problems and drop to 50% of their normal fps. Dxtory is the second most popular option do to the fact that it is widely customizable. With tons of loaded features, video codecs, and many other features, such as streaming with Open Broadcaster, to choose from Dxtory is better for someone who prefers more options while recording/streaming. Finally we come to Nvidia's GeForce Experience. This capture software is slowly making it's way into the seen as it has some pretty unique features such as Shadowplay. Shadowplay can run in the background and silently record while you are not, so in case you are not recording and you get a good gank or a pentakill, you can use Shadowplay to record as much as 20 minutes past of play. Plus users have been quoting very little to no framerate drops with the software as it is only available on Nvidia series cards GTX 650 and up. Hope this helped you in choosing what to use and good luck on promoting LoL in South America. Maybe we'll see you on the front page of twitch some day.

I recommend GeForce Experience as Crunk3y said it give me good quality and doesn't reduce my framerates like Fraps does
