Does the available sofware from a power mac, come with anything that can record you playing a game like ( wow ). I have thought of making a small presentation and was wondering if i could record small bits of the game to show my audience.

Something that is used alot on PCs is Fraps but i think it is only availble for PC users and it is very very slow.

thanks

It doesn't come with the system, but Snapz Pro should be able to do this.

Be aware that you might not get very good quality recording as games are very demanding on both the CPU and GPU, and trying to record video under those conditions will have an impact on frame rates as it too is also a demanding process.

If you have an LCD you might have better luck just aiming a good DV camera at your computer screen if you're able to get the lighting right.
