You could try a program called snagit! I don't know what the home page is, but you can download it from here

www.sofotex.com/SnagIt-download_L9633.html

I have downloaded the trial veresion before and it works really great. My brother bought it and uses it all the time.

Well the Fraps 1.9D version is free.Your probably getting the error
because you need the latest windows media player to run the .AVI
files it produces.

So, where can I download the latest version of WMP? I've tried the Microsoft homepage, but it went right over my head and I ended up not finding anything.

Also, the movies I make with Fraps requires to download something called "Codecs". But, when WMP tries to download, the error (above) appears:Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)

Class not registered (Error=80040154)

I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 9 (for Windows 98 SE) but it gives me the same exact error . Now what can I do?

@GZMGames Admin: Do you mean how to play an AVI in your games? Just use Load Animation "file name",ID number followed by either Loop Animation ID Number or Play Animation ID Number
