How can you create a video? which method do you prefer?

[gdant]

i have created couple of videos using Apowersoft Screen recorder, though it doesn't have many features but little low on resources. Also, I have tried Ashampoo Snap 9 video recording and snagit screen recording software. I like ashampoo with some nice mouse animation support.
Bandicam is also a good option but don't have licence so never tried to use it.
As a freeware, Open Broadcaster Software is one of the best available.
