Fraps is a video screen capture program, allowing you to capture whatever is on your screen in motion.

The full service isn't free, however i believe a 30day trial is available.

Also, if you hold down Shift and hit PrtScr, it will take a screen shot without the gui. (Try it, you'll see what I mean.)

To take videos of GW or any other video game, you need a seperate program that takes videos. One such video program is FRAPS (which is the oldest, though I don't really think its the best anymore).

If you go to youtube and look at GW videos, you will often see some sort of logo in one of the corners of the video. That is often the logo for whatever program was used to capture the video.

Also Control + Shift + H will remove the Interface from the screen
