I spent some time last night experimenting with Taksi, an open-source program in development that is one day going to have the same functions as Fraps. Right now it works but although I experimented a lot with compression settings I didn't get good results. It doesn't record sound yet, is a bit unstable, and generally is on its way but not there yet. Still - it's exciting that someone is working on the idea.

I started hanging the UI ABSTRACTION show at 5:30, stopped at 8 for a vigil for an Elf Circle member in ICU, ate a quick dinner then started back up and finished after putting about 4½ hours into it. I suspect a few aren't in correct proportion. I remember having a conversation with someone telling me proportions - but exited without noting it. Candide has the task of judging, which he will be good at as he takes good photos.
