[McClay]

hey well...i think alot of people have seen diablo 2 gameplay vids on youtube or goodle vid or a friends video, but can anyone tell me how to record gameplay?, im thinking its a program, any1 know name or where to get it?

There's Camtasia or Fraps that does great jobs.
You can find demo for both of these programs pretty easily with google.

If your computer's video card has an S-Video output, you could use a capture card...but Fraps would be WAY easier.

The free version will let you record for 30 seconds. To record for longer periods, you need to register or do lots of little recordings and splice them together.

I use Registered Fraps, K-lite Codec pack and VirtualDub to do the PvP Videos. You'll need some serious bandwith though. You tube ruins the quality if you host there.
