Is there some program to save whatever is happening on the screen into some sort of video file? Actually just saving it into a bunch of bitmaps would work. Does anyone know?

I use paintshop pro for screen capture... but there are free screen capture apps, and there's always ctrl-prtscrn to copy the screen and then you paste it into ms-paint to save it.

FRAPS will capture a screen feed and compress it into a video file.

Unfortunately, the free version is limited to 30 seconds capture with a FRAPS logo.

There may be other alternatives along a similar vein.

Thoran: I need more frames per second than tabbing a button as fast as I can.

Dace De'Briago: That could work. I don't think I need more than thirty seconds anyway. What does that logo look like? A monstrous neon green thing that covers the whole video? A small watermark in the lower right corner?
