are there any freeware programs out there that I can run, and record .avi or .wmv's of the data that goes to my computerscreen (for lack of a better phrase I can come up with), so I can upload a flight simulator video I make to YouTube or whatever?

ok the fancy term for this recording is Screencasting... I cant find a free version of anything (But if you want to take more time than I am into researching go ahead) There are Free Screencasting utilities out there! Just gotta look.... I will keep looking myself, Cheers, Gunny

Lol, thanks.

Anyhoo, I tried uploading my finished video (put together using Windows Movie Maker) to youtube, but apparently that site doesn't accept .wmv files. Any good (again, freeware) programs that can convert .wmv's to .avi or .mpeg ?
