    I want to record some game footage of old dos games for a project I'm working on about the history of FPS games. Unfortunately, Fraps is useless for that because it only works with DirectX games, and I wasn't successful in finding an alternative way. Any ideas?

    Hook a vcr up. Who owns a vcr anymore anyway?

    Can't do that.
    Any other ideas?

    Video Camera, or use VNC to record the game running in a Window. Instead of running in a Dos Full Screen, run in a window.

    OK that works, thanks.
    Just one little problem. Windows doesn't let me play the games in a window. I used Dosbox, but got some lag during gameplay so I'd like to try it through Windows, but it always resizes to full screen, even though I specified in the proporties that it should be in a window. How do I force Windows to not resize it?
