    This looks very cool- one could modify this into a FRAPS-like program fairly easy, and get fast framerates at any resolution :)

    Would be great if there was an on/off key so you don't waste HDD space on things you don't want.

    I ran a small test with UT2004. I could only play it back with bufstream precaching turned off (it crashes 3sec into playing otherwise). I have 1.5GiB of ram so the 778MiB size isn't the problem.

    While playing back it got the first 3sec right (the same 3sec that got played with bufstream precaching on) but everything after that got worse and worse, up to where there were just a bunch of lines and polygons splayed across the screen. No error files were created.

    Edit: I just noticed the windows 2000 version, thanks!

    DWORD:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectInput\Emulation

    Setting this key to 0x18 disables applications from getting exlusive keyboard control. Zero is default. This has solved similar problems for me earlier.
