how to record videos

[da_head]

hi everyone. i no in order to take a screenshot during games u press da prtscr/sysrq button and go to paint to paste. however how do u record videos of ur gameplay? does it require a special program or can it be achieved by plain windows? can it be done using software or will it require hardware (webcam duh)

Windows doesn't have any built in features that will capture on screen as video. Some games will allow you to record what happens as video.

I don't offhand know of any 3rd party programs that will do this, but I'm sure there are some, you shouldn't have to resort to physically recording with a webcam or camcorder.

Perhaps someone else may know of some software that will do this.

Fraps is good. I've used that myself. But I haven't used the other.
