Capture video from screen?

[Barium56]

Just wondering if it was possible to capture video directly from the screen and save it. And I'm not looking for animated screenshots, I'm looking for >30 FPS video. Specifically, I want to capture a .avi, etc. of the 3DMark2001 demo. Does anyone know of a way to do this with software?

Thanx

the Windows desktop and saves it to a standard AVI movie or streaming video.

yea i think this is what you want. to record the whole screen its record->input->screen(there are a couple options) also the frame rate is pretty bad like 5fps but i'm sure there's a way to fix that.
