Portable Taksi

Portable Taksi is a program that will help you take screenshots and record video clips of your favorite games and other 3D-graphics software.

Taksi aims to provide an open source alternative to that great tool. Capture specifications: Screenshot format: 24 bit BMP files. Video: compressed or uncompressed AVI-files (no audio).

Taksi writes uncompressed AVI files. Basically, this means you need a lot of free disk space. (Once captured, the AVI-files can be compressed into much smaller files, using the tools like an excellent free software program, called VirtualDub by Avery Lee.) However, at the time of capture, for performance reasons, no compression is done, which means that video files grow large very fast.

There is no time limit in the video capture mode, so the only constraint is the available disk space. Keep this in mind, when setting the directory for you captured videos.
