[QUESTION]making a game trailer

what program do i use if i want to record the gameplay of a game i am making so that i can make a game trailer? i hope you guys know what i mean...

I think what you want to use is robodemo, its built for showing things off I'm pretty sure....(You could always just use a screen recorder(don't know what one is called), but that would be more work....)

Actually, it's called Captivate now, check it out here ...

Hope that Helps!

i believe that does what i want but i would have to buy it...any freebies out there. i think u got the right term "screen recorder" matter fact now that i think about it i think the guys that did sylvania did what i want to do...

If you don't mind it being recorded in .wmv format, you can use screen capture with Windows Media Encoder. I think that's still free.

I'm not sure if you are allowed to use the 30-day trial for commerical purpoeses, but you could just use that....
I'm not sure though....

try looking at Camtasia, I know that 2 months ago there was a free version given away with a Computer Arts Magazine www.computerarts.co.uk

A digital camcorder?

If the link needs to be removed for any reason, just search for Windows Media Encoder 9 in the Microsoft downloads site.

What format does it have to be in to make a flash video. Mpeg?
