You will need a video capture program. The video in Fs9 is for inside the sim only. I don't know of any video capture and editing programs that are free but Fraps is free to try but you are limited to 30 seconds of recording I believe.

Both FRAPS and GameCam offer free demo software. FRAPS is better as it will record sound as well but you will have to live with the FRAPS logo on the screen unless you buy it.
Being limited to 30 secs though isn't really a problem with FS vids. I find that holding one angle for more than that will become boring anyway.
TOP TIP: Use the free FS Recorder to record the flight you want to film. Then you can play it back over and over to capture the shots you want (including AI movements as well) and edit the lot together useing Windows Movie Maker which you will already have if useing XP (Start/All Programs/Accessories/Windows Movie Maker).
Stick on some nice music over the top and you're a FS film maker!
