I use OBS, with the source set to capture the game window. It's pretty easy to setup even though it took some tinkering to get right. I never ran into the black screen issue you mentioned; any trouble I had was with sound levels and getting the recording area sized properly.

Fraps, the tried and true video capture program. Yes, it's an old program and the file sizes are horrendously huge, but Fraps will reliably work, usually (have had a couple recordings not include audio for some reason).
