Well, you could use the boring old built-in FS recorder...or you could go smart and get GameCam which for the free version lets you record as long you want provided you have the HDD space...The only thing is the free version does not allow sound to be recorded...But you really don't need that ;)

Get it here:

www.planetgamecam.com

PS: If you have Vista...Don't bother with GameCam...It is not compatible...Go for FRAPS instead...The downside with the trial version of  FRAPS is that it reduces system performance and it only lets you record 30 second clips...If you are still interested:

http://www.fraps.com/

;) ;)

Err... the built in FS recorder doesn't capture video!  :-? But as Ashar says, GameCam and Fraps will do the job just fine.  8-)

Another thing to consider is that the free version of FRAPS now includes sound recording.
