i've heard that all those external programs work well for recording things like the mouse moving around and clicking on things, but can't record gameplay from any game because the game uses so much resources and so does the recording program...

there was also a command posted that you type in console something like avidemo 1 or something like that, what it did was take rapid screenshots of gameplay, but when i did this my frames per second dropped to 3, and the game was completely unplayable like that...

sooo... your only real option is to but a graphics card that has a capture ability, some tv tuner cards have this capture ability... then you use the tv out on your video card to play moh on your tv, you record the game on vhs... then u play the vhs and capture the video back into your pc using the tv tuner with capture abillity...

note: i have seen several videos done using this method, including the videos of getting onto 2 different roofs on algiers that were posted on this forum a long time ago, and the video is very low quality...

me i have been trying to push ea to include demo recording (a standard feature of the quake 3 engine) for a looong time... i have been hoping that it would be included in a patch sometime, but now i realize that this is ea and they aren't going to do jack... why have i been pushing for demo recording? i beleive it could have been a useful anti-cheat tool...
