I knew you could do screenshots on this game, but how do you do videos?

    I think you need to use a program called fraps or something. ( or some other program that is similar to that )

    You'll need separate software. As Roxy notes, in the Windows environment, FRAPs is pretty much the default option. It's not perfect, but it does work. The full version -- necessary for making longer or unmarked videos -- does cost money, but the free version is not horrible for things like making an avatar or sig.

    GameCam has a free version as well, with the primary limitations being a 30 frame per second limit and no audio. It does provide more codec and compression options than FRAPS, even in free version. Good for short animations, but a bit of a pain to get used to.

    For truly free image capturing in a Windows environment, the only option I'm aware of is Taksi. It's not as easy to use as FRAPS, but it does capture full video feeds for free... if you can get it to work.

    Other players have suggested CamStudio. I haven't tested it myself, but other players find it free and easy to use.

    There are also ways to record imagery through Linux programs, QEMU, or other methods, but they're a bit complex to describe in a single forum thread.

    I personally use fraps and it works great.

    Another free alternative would be xfire:

    I have given xfire a whirl and from my experience I can't really endorse it. My framerate dropped horribly while using it, almost to the point of the game stuttering. No this is not because of my pc. spec below to squish that theory.

    Intel Q600 2.4ghz quad core
    8gb DDR2 PC 6400 ram
    Nvidia 8800GT
    Vista Ultimate 64
    7200rpm Hard drive (defragged daily)
