You can find lots of info here.






Hint: if you type "GameCam" - it's the first link in the list.

Get yourself a VirtualDub. Go to Main menu=>File=>Open and select first bmp extracted from demo. They all will be loaded as video. Go to Main menu=>File=>Save as avi and save it somewhere.

That's a nice trick.
You can also use VirtualDub to capture a game. It worked perfect for me. I used divx drivers so basically a compressed hq movie was made while I played. I'd advice to play and capture your demos as well, as you can do some 'camera work' while it's playing.

Using VirtualDub to capture screen isn't a good idea. Capture doesn't work properly under Win7/Vista. I can recommend Debut capture for this purpose. Also i must say that using those old crappy codecs such as divx or xvid or wm will dramatically lower the quality of your video (especially in the case if you are planning to do some montage and make a movie).

Here is the quick schema of how this should be done properly:

1. Capture video using uncompressed or lossless codec.
2. Edit it in the video editor.
3. Export resulting video using uncompressed or lossless codec.
4. Compress your video using some good 2-3 pass codec.
5. Merge your video and audio into a single file container, such as .mp4 or .mkv using some MUX program.

As lossless codec i recommend Lagarith or HuffYUV.
As final video codec i recommend x264 or Nero AVC, as audio - Nero AAC.
