Taksi Description:

Taksi is a desktop video recorder application. It can be hooked to most applications/games (via GDI,OpenGL,DirectX) to record as an AVI video all that you are doing. It is based on the VFW api's at a low level and can use any of the installed video codecs to encode in real time (if possible). This is an open source project that can also be found on sourceforge.net.

Taksi is claimed by the author to be Freeware and free to use.

Taksi Publishers' Full Overview:

Taksi is a program that will allow you to take screenshots and record video clips of your favorite games and other 3D-graphics applications. Inspired by Fraps (www.fraps.com), Taksi aims to provide an open source alternative to that great tool.

Other features:

Supports user-specified key mapping, allowing user to assign almost any key to a particular function (such as video start/stop, screenshot trigger, etc.). Runtime re-mapping of the keys is supported via GUI: user can change keys without having to restart the game.

Custom video settings are supported (see manual.txt for more details about this). Basically, this allows a user to specify on a per-game basis the frame rate of the captured video, and the weight of each source frame. The weight determines whether a particular frame is captured or not. This allows for creation of smoother and faster videos, when generic algorithm doesn´t produce desired results.

* Supported OS: Win95/98/ME, WinNT4.0/2K/XP/23.

* 3D Graphics API: Direct3D 8, Direct3D 9, OpenGL, GDI

* Screenshot file format: 24-bit BMP

* Video file format: compressed or uncompressed AVI
