Recording Battles?

[Innocence]

I've seen a few recorded battles (AVI, MPEGE etc.), and I'd like to record one myself. What software are you using?

I'm running WinXP

I think fraps is generally recommended for recording computer games.

I've never used it, nor even seen it. I just know people say "fraps".

Yeah, Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) is pretty popular. You can use most functionality of it if you accept a watermark in the video. Open source alternatives (as in free) are CamStudio (http://camstudio.org/) and Taksi (http://taksi.sourceforge.net/). All this is Windows only.

Under *nix you usually use xvidcap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidcap/), which should be installable by your distribution's program repository. Other software is for example Istanbul (http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul) and Byzanz (http://people.freedesktop.org/~company/byzanz/), but both haven't seen updates since 2006.

Anything good for Mac?
