Making movies of FSX FS Recorder flights?

[DogTailRed2]

Hi,
Anyone have experience making movies with FSRecorder flights?
Or is there a better way to record flights (fraps?).
Ultimately I want to manipulate the resultant files and edit them into a movie.
Thanks.

FS Recorder will play back the flight but only in the sim. It's not a format that you can make into a movie. So you need Fraps as well. Allocate the fraps on/off switch to a handy key then you can switch it on and off for the sequences of playback you want to film. Make sure you keep an eye on the folder where your fraps movies are stored as the file size gets very big very quickly and you'll want to manage the clips and delete them after you've made the movie.

You can then edit your clips into a movie using Windows Live Movie Maker. Drag and drop the fraps clips straight into it.
