I can't seem to find this anywhere else, nor has the seach function brought up anything (but I could never use it properly anyway  ), so, my question is: How can I record BVE on my computer, like this YouTube video ? EDIT: Upon doing research, Frapps only records something like 30 seconds of a game in one go ... |

is that not breaking © law to upload videos like that without everyones who's textures/train/whatever is used giving permission first?

* I am not a lawyer *
Copyright law has a far narrower scope that most people think. In this case, a video of BVE would most likely be classified as an original work, and hence not be infringing the copyright of any other person.
This is exactly the same case as if you were to make a video in the street. There might be billboards everywhere, but you don't need to write to the copyright holder of everything you might happen to see.
In the event that someone wanted to sue you, lawyers are rather expensive.

Does anyone have any ideas?
And I've never heard of someone getting sued for that.

A while back, I recored some BVE and FlightSim vids by setting up the camera on the tripod in front of the computer, turning it onto video mode and zooming in accordingly. Works wonders, well until the tripod broke anyway, in a completely unrelated event.
Of course, it makes driving the train a little bit harder having to reach around the tripod to use the keyboard, but it's the best way. Fraps is just craps, not that I've ever tried it.
So yeah, if you've got a tripod, use that with your camera on video mode. Or video camera, whatever works for you.

If you have to film direct from a screen, try connecting a second screen. You can then film that without the camera getting in your way. |

If I had a spare second screen, and the know how, I would. But such is life.

Fraps works just fine with MSTS, so I don't see why not with the latest BVE. And it will record as long as you want, with sound, assuming you pay for a copy (the demo version is time-limited with a watermark added). The videos I've done on the virtual District were done with it. Don't let the poor quality as seen on my Photobucket versions fool you - those are converted by Photobucket into lo-res Flash videos. The Fraps videos look superb at 1024 and larger. I've taken 'raw' Fraps AVI into Ms Moviemaker and produced some good WMV files.

That's the thing, I'm too stingy to pay for a proper copy of fraps. But if it works for you, well there's another solution for Joe to use...
