There's a "screenshot video" type mode in the latest Flash, I believe...

GameCam? You sure it will work in something like TS?
and is it free?

It's free unless you want to record sound, and it works in anything that uses DirectX.

Free unless you want to record sound or any resolution above 500-something x 300-something. :/

Ugh..I still don't get it why FRAP's won'+t work..

Perhaps I'll make a Power Point presentation instead..... Direct video is better to see how a 3D package works, but if I cna't get it working...

Camcorder on tripod in front of the screen? :p

Seriously, I'm sure you can acquire some sort of video-capture prog that will take whatever's on the screen. Or failing that you could rig up your video/dvd recorder to your graphics card (if it has a tv-out) and record off that. Or something - anything is possible with jury-rigging. Or if you have a VIVO card, plug the output into the input and capture that way? Dunno if it'd work, but I'm just pulling ideas out of the air...

Try Camtasia Studio. It has a 30 day trial but i don't know if it has any limitations.
