FRAPS lowers performance but it's the best there is another one out there that is also good but I can't remember the name. If your recording games just download Xfire is has a game cam built in and a picture,chat and everything gaming related you need.

I am not familiar with the commercial products you mention but I do occasionally use camstudio (freeware) and that does the job for me. Check it out.

that device will work, but you a) need s-video or composite out for your PC/video card. You are going to be restricted to compressed video and small size. It won't effect game framerates at all.

What do you want to do exactly? Xfire is free and has recorder for most video games, configurable to certain sizes, then you can convert that uncompressed to whatever file you like.
