When flying press the ALT button, then select OPTIONS from the menu at the top of the screen and the FLIGHT VIDEO. You can now choose to start recording your flight.
This can be played back in FS2k2, I'm not sure what format it is, so I don't know if you can convert it to mpeg....

The flight video merely contains instructions for the simulator. Every frame, it tells the sim to put the plane at particular co-ords, a particular altitude, with a particular airspeed, and the control surfaces in particular positions, the aircraft the follows the path until the next frame. This cannot be converted into AVI or MPEG.

I've wanted to do that for a long time. It is possible to capture a video of any motion on your desktop, but you need a vid capture software, (not sure what), and then save it as a video file that you could replay from say Media Player or Real Player. One of the guys over in the VUSAFs did it for their web site a year or two, ago, and put it to music. Absolutely awsome!!!
So, it is possible, but I'm not exactly sure how.
