MSI Afterburner
1. Why does it show the string of statistics in the video?
2. What program should I get to play it? Some videos play with my current program, but others say they're not supported.
3. I have switched the two audio outputs, but it still won't record my voice. I'm using a headset mic
4. When I have MSI open, the framerate of TF2 is so bad, is there a way to fix it?

1. Because you have the Afterburner overlay enabled.
2. Don't understand Q
3. Afterburner isn't an audio recorder ...
4. Do you have an FPS cap set in Afterburner ?

Well, you should be able to record audio shouldn't you? That's why the setting is there, and I recorded some videos before and it recorded the in-game sound.
I changed the FPS cap, I had it disabled, not sure if it's bad or not.
And I turned the overlay off.

Thanks for the help! That solved two of my problems. (I hope)

Hands up, been using Afterburner 2 years and had no idea you could use it to record, my bad.

Lol, I don't know what else you can do with it.

So I don't think the file type is unsupported, but for some reason all of the videos are corrupt.

Set custom fan curves
Limit FPS to monitor frequency to remove the need for V-Sync
Overclock GPU
On screen overlay to monitor GPU use/temps and FPS

I just tried CS, and TF2. both of the files are corrupt.

Don't bother. MSi Afterburner as a recorder is a little too demanding. You should try messing around with OBS Studio, using MSi for its overlay.

You can use afterburner to safely overclock your GPU.

Well, I have Bandicam now. The audio is below average, and it makes my fps really low. Any help?

Like I said, I think you'll be happy with OBS over anything. It's completely free Open Source software, and also offers three different codecs depending on your computer specifications.

Could try this.

Does a pretty good job on recording while having a lower impact on your fps overall.

I see. I am not sure what to recommend then sadly.

As I mentioned, OBS is completely free. It takes some practice and tinkering, but combined with Rivatuner it makes for an excellent recording setup. That's assuming you have a decent computer, of course-- I wouldn't recommmend anything lower than an FX 8300/i5 750 and GTX 750ti/R7 360.
