Need to capture video and audio for free

Hey, and thanks in advance. I have a school project of which i need to capture both video and audio from my computer, and edit it afterwards, so if you know of any programs that can capture audio and video for free, then please let me know. it would also be appreciated if you told me a good editing program as well, but i can use windows's own software for that. thanks again.

Try MSI Afterburn. It doesn't limit you to 30 second footage like Fraps does in it's trial.

As for editing use Sony Vegas Pro (it's free on Piratebay!)

Fraps is too! The paid version that is..

Open Broadcaster Software

It's mainly used for streaming but it will capture audio/video and record it to a file as well.

Camtasia can record audio and video and can be edited on the application.
