Making a Trainz Video

Don't know if this is the appropriate place to start this thread, but would like to make a couple of short videos of my prototype route. For example, what is being used to make the Trainz videos that I see on YouTube?
 
What I have seen people using is a program called FRAPS. It is also used to view the FPS as well as taking screen shots...

If you don't have a digital video cam this may a better option...

Thanks Adam and Robby for you quick response. I downloaded FRAPS and it looks like what I have been trying to find for some time. Since I do not have a video camara, that option is not available to me, but thanks for that suggestion.
My best to all,
Gary
 
Your welcome.

Just to tell you that FRAP's takes 30 second long film strips. If you want to go longer you have to buy the full version. But most use the Free Version.

Cheers,
Adam
 
Mick, what you say about screen rolling if you take video clips with a camcorder is true if you have one of the "older" monitor screens. However, modern LCD screens allow roll-free videoing. Believe me, you can get some great clips from an LCD screen using the different virtual 'cameras' built into 2006. Cheers.
 
If your video card has the appropriate outputs you can also connect a DVD recorder (or even the input to another PC).
