How can you make mpegs out of WC3 Map cinematics?

I've seen this done a couple of different times--by Zurg and by Vexorian as well. Is there some sort of converter that reads whatever you have on your screen and converts it to .mpeg format?

Thanks!

Edit: Never mind, I've now found a half dozen of the programs.

New question: what do you all use?

Fraps seems popular to record ingames

Fraps all the way

Where do you get these programs? I'm rather intrigued by this.

You can download a free trial at fraps' website, but the full programs cost a bit.

I use Gamecam myself. My only option since once you have installed the fraps demo you can never get the full version to work. Anyway Gamecam has been working flawlessly so I'm happy.

Actually converted Cinematic Tri-X the other day. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TylBMvrmxaY

use frap then use virtualdub to convert it to a nice and small sized format.

How much does fraps cost? And where can I get it?

Wait, is that a link to one of their free trial things, or is it the actual program? And does it cost anything?

you will know when they start charging for stuff

Fraps is by far the easiest to use, but it is useless unless you pay for it, if I recall it was like 39.95 for the full version.

You can use the trial but it will only capture like 30 secs at a time and leaves a fraps logo stamp on each frame. Once you try the trial though, you'll probably want to buy it.

when i use FRAPS in wc3 all the movies turns out black when i look at them after recording. tho it works when i record in wow.
