Video of screen

[KGB]

Do any of you guys know how to make a video of your screen?

[Stupified]

You mean to take a screenshot? The print screen key next to the F12 button. If you're talking about recording your screen like an actual "video", You'll need a camera, or something, I believe.

I mean like recording, but without a camera

[Stupified]

Impossible.

Ive seen it done before, i just dont know how, or what program to use

Impossible.

No it's not. There is a program called FRAPS. I believe you can get it at FRAPS.com, or get the full version off BitTorrent or Kazaa Lite. It will start taking a video of your screen when you press the selected button and stop when you want it to, but it will only take videos of video games. (or something fullscreen) It's a nice program, but the files are huge! a 2 min file could be as large as 1 gigabyte! It's because the game doesnt have time to convert it to mpeg. I would suggest getting TMPGenC to make the files smaller.

There is also a program called Camtasia Studio, which records whatever you are doing on the screen. It is widely used by tutorial creators for complex programs that need step by step instructions, but can be used for anything you want. You can try to search for it on a p2p network or Bit Torrent, here is a site describing the program in more detail...
