I tried the programs in the pixel art recording topic (one of which is camtasia) while it's probably the best I've tried so far the main downside is the audio quality is quite poor
still, thanks anyway

edit-
Today, I finished
Super Metroid Redesign, a rom hack made specifically for the Metroid elite.
what a game, the first couple hours are so brutal, but once you clear hells run (almost 0 chance for error) is where the game gets a bit easier.
I finished with 88.5% items and 19 hours play time, it really is a massive game, so if you want to see if you're good enough, prepare to be a bit overwhelmed by the massive map.
I also want to acknowledge how impressive a romhack this is, several parts of the game were completely new and had to be hard-coded, you've got the 3 bomb limit ala Prime, Shine sparking ala Fusion/Zero Mission, wall jump boots are needed, you can activate both space jump and screwattack individually on the same jump, I could go on.
It's almost an entirely new game, one I picked up to cope with the wait for Prime 3.
In other Metroid news, Gametrailers has been doing a
Metroid Retrospective, they've only done 2/5 parts, but they're doing a really good job, watch it.
