If you're video card offers TV output and you have access to another computer which offers video input you could rig the two together and capture it that way though the quality would likely be shocking due to the appaling nature of PC graphics card video input and output hardware.
There are several tools that can capture your display but these too are limited in what they can capture being designed primarily to create demonstrations for training purposes.

Fraps looks as thougg it's designed for this purpose so may do what you want though I've never used it myself so I can't vouch for its quality.

If you're actually after the cutscenes rather than ingame footage take a look here
The page is dedicated to getting the movies to work with FS2_Open but there's plenty of info in there on how to download or make your own avi copies of the cutscenes.

I still havent got the cutscenes working

LOL, what's the hold-up? MVE cutscenes worked in the icculus Linux port of FS1+2

(To this day I still have no idea how he managed that. My best guess is that maybe the MVL code from D2x was adapted for the purpose)

a guy named return0 used the interplay mve player to rip off the decoding info and wrote his own decoder.

Where are you suppose to put the .avi files anyway I stuck em in data/movies and then I tried the main folder but still nothing so yeah I did something wrong.

Don't use 3.6.5. There's a bug in it that stops movies playing. Any newer build should work.

Of fraps or a nouther prog ?

[Admiral LSD]

Of FS2_Open. kara was answering Swantz query about not being able to get the cutscenes working in FSO...I think.
