You should just be able to click the link.. unless you're using Firefox, then you will have to either use Internet Explorer, or right click on it and 'save link as' For some reason, Firefox doesnt redirect the .wmv extension properly on my site, and loads it as a .txt file instead. Any video player that can play .wmv should be able to play it. Most people just use Windows Media Player. Enjoy.

Still should have some sort of 'save as' option when you right click. All the browsers I've come across do. Anyways.. let me know what you think after you watch it.

I had to join just to thank Crusader for sharing that. (Your chuckling towards the end added something to it, too.)

Mesmers next time? I'd love to see Lord of the Dance go up in flames.

That was just one of the most R0xor video of GW I've seen so far, good timing Crusader ^_^

My guild leader made one on the drake hunt mission with a Boat and Blue sea in the background, the eauty was simply amazing, and we all took our clothes off and started dancing but there was no synchronization. I will make one there next beta ^^. Next time make one in open sea with a good view and more light possibly, thats all that video was missing, otherwise it was 2mins of pure fun to watch!!

Keep them coming

Many people use FRAPS. It's a shareware program, meaning you have to purchase a license key in order to use it's full potential. I am sure there should be freeware video capturing programs, though .

Yeah... this was made with Fraps. I actually purchased it less than a half hour before recording the video.
For what its capable of.. it was well worth the 29.95 to me.
Just be warned... to make something like this.. you're going to need a large harddrive.. the raw video file for this was close to 500MB, and that was a short video, plus you'll want to have some decent processing power, good video card, etc...

I couldn't find a free one, so can't help you out there.
but try the fraps demo, it lets you record up to 30 seconds of footage.

Well done, Crusader...I'm sure you've heard it before, but hey, it made my wife laugh and THAT is something. I was trying to buy a guild cape when Gwen fried me...Three districts later I squeezed it in before getting flamed the final time...I can't help but wonder if they will even TRY to top Gwen in April...

That video was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. I missed the end by 30 min. I loged back on at 3:07am and I was dead for no reason I just thought it was a bug. Thanks

Its hard to beleive there is no other software, other then Fraps, which only allows 30s of recording that sucks. I tried looking for it searching on google but had no luck.

Crusader can you share you unlocked version of Fraps plz ^^

sure fraps works...problem with these full screen capture tools is that they kill your frames so very badly, usually when i play FPS games i like to record a demo and then make the video from the demo itself...

we need some sort of demo recording for Guild Wars (not sure if they're already in)...and while you're at it...we also need spectator options for Guild matches

you mean like in css and half-life 2
like when you type demo_record <name>
then it records but it saves it in a format only readable by the half-life 2 and css
i think they should do it too
and if its only readable by the GW engine then i think they should make it to where you can watch movies without having to sign in to the game
but i would hope that it would save it as a format that is readable by most media viewers like winamp and media player
and they would also need to let you choose the quality/size of what ur recording.....
but i guess i should really be posting this in the suggestions thread...
and i WILL!!
ty though for the idea!
/gives props

Download Fraps 2.5 registered version, suing Exeem, its a peer-peer file sharing software or you can try Kazaa. But for me I got my copy from kazaa which didnt work so I had to go for exeem, which eventually worked.

Demo recording...put simply...is where they only save instructions to the game engine. Thus, as mentioned by the esteemed Agent Dark Bootie...it is only readable by the game. This is why most Warcraft III demos are only several kilobytes (not above 100) whereas, as mentioned earlier, a few seconds of full motion video capture using fraps goes to several hundred megs. Also, there is no lag while recording demo since you are only saving instructions...whereas playing while using fraps is like watching a slideshow. Its been mentioned a lot before that this game is more like Team Fortress than World of Warcraft...for me at least, demo recording is an essential part of this.

not possible...you need the resources and scripts from the engine to be able to view a demo. Think of watching a demo as watching a cutscene...not a piece of video.

Feel free to suggest this...the more people that do, the better. However, I've seen this brought up before, with no reply from the developers. I'm not sure if they missed it, or if they simply thought it was a bad idea...its worth bringing it up again...

I thought Fraps worked very well in recording GW. Lag almost wasnt noticable. I have seen the effect you're talking about in a fps though.. I tried it out a couple of days ago... not a pretty sight.

if there was a replay function, and you didnt have to tell when to start recording for the replay, wouldn't it make the game run slower?
i mean say you want to replay the last 50 seconds and your replay would have to remember different things every second so in five minute, you wont be replaying the same 50 seconds
if your saying it should have a "keep a replay from this moment till i say stop" thing, then its the same as recording.
and if you mean in guild/8vs8/4vs4 battles, then couldn't and wouldn't people spam it and such and make a REALLY long match or maybe the match is unintentionally long
wouldnt that affect gameplay?
if not then sure id agree a replay would be great in official battles
but this would go along with a few previous statements.
people outside the battle could wait till the match is over and see a replay of what happened
and it would give the scores, who killed who, who got first blood, who got last kill, etc. etc.
