I've tried FRAPS, but that kills my frames, camstudio does the same. Anyone have any good recorders they'd like to share for this game?

I don't think you'll much find better programs than these two. They are supposed to be good at their job. FRAPS is focused on quality and uses its own near-lossless codec, while other programs may allow you for more flexibility / loss of quality (I've tried Camstudio but that was long ago).

What resolution/framerate are you trying to record to ?
Framerate stability while recording depends mostly on CPU power (for encoding) and hard drive write speeds (for actual writing to disk).

Whatever you do, I would advise you to prefer recording at high FPS rather than at high resolution (if you can do both, it's even better). For a game such as SMB, 640x480@60FPS is much better than 1280x960@15FPS.

GameCam, XFire, or WeGame? That's the only ones I know of.

One thing that completely kills your framerate when recording with FRAPS (probably other programs too): Recording to the hard drive that your game/OS is on. Always record to a second hard disk or an external USB drive or similar.
