Well Hyper Cam 2 is a simple recording program that I use but can lag a lot depending how much quality you are recording.
The thing I like with it is that you can choose the window area that you record in instead of recording the whole screen if you don't need to and you can choose whether to record the mouse cursor and have sound in it.
You can download the demo at
http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/The only thing with the demo is that there is an area of writing that says "Unregistered version of Hyper Cam 2" in the recorded videos but it is worth downloading it just to try it out.
:ps: If you haven't tried lowering the quality of fraps, try that first

Hope that helped
