Welcome back Caesar the III ~:wave:
If you have lost your password, you may wish to talk to TosaInu (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/private.php?do=newpm&u=6381) - he should be able to help you.

As for your video creating software there are two options.

FRAPs (http://www.fraps.com/buy.php) is the most common software used for this purpose, but sadly it is commercial software and the free version comes with numerous limitations. It watermarks all screenshots and movies with the "FRAPs" name, has limited length recording time (max 30 seconds) and all screenshots can only be saved in ".bmp" format.

These can be removed for the price of 19.76 Pounds Stirling (which is 37.00 US Dollars and 23.87 Euros at the current conversion rate).

If you're more technically orientated, and do not wish to pay for the licence fee, then Taski (http://taksi.sourceforge.net/) may be of a greater interest to you.

It's open source, but development ceased two years ago, it doesn't support sound recording, the documentation, as with many other open source projects, is not complete and professional support is non-existent. Also, due to its age, it doesn't support DirectX 10 - this won't be an issue on XP, but on Vista this may be a little problematic.

As a rule, use FRAPs at will, but use the latter at your own risk.

If your filming a war movie, then wouldnt you just split it up in to little parts and focus on the most interesting and major parts of a battle? If so, then Fraps would be ideal for this...
