Title: (Possibly) free video cap software

Today's offer is PlayClaw, which claims to be able to capture stills and videos of the computer screen.  I can't QUITE get it to work myself though ... if you can get it to work, it looks promising, let me know.

Does that mean you got it to work?  I still can't figure out why the start key isn't working.  :(

Same issue here.

Have you got the game running (ps. you just lost it :D)?

I have a video but it has no sound. That's the only problem on my end.

I have the game running and PlayClaw running in the background.  Pressing the start key does nothing.
Oh, and there's a dropdown for audio, it's default is to not record it.

That's bs >_< .  Do you know what button you're using to make it start? Are you sure you're not pressing the Cancel Record button?

I've set F7 as my Start Record button and, when I press it, nothing happens.

My educated guess: don't assign the commands to the F# keys, as there could be some interference going on between programs (one of my college teachers had a similar problem), or the screen cap software might not even properly support the F# keys for an unknown reason.

Groudon there should be a yellow number in one of the four corners in the game screen. If you are that far, press the button, it should turn red. If not then re-assign the key.

Yellow number what?  I have yet to see one.
