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 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 and Taksi. All this is Windows only.

Under *nix you usually use xvidcap, which should be installable by your distribution's program repository. Other software is for example Istanbul and Byzanz, but both haven't seen updates since 2006.

Anything good for Mac?
