Just a thought...
You can get it here:

http://rptools.net/tools/dexporter-0.2.jar

It's a little program I hacked together in a couple hours way back for iCon, so it's not very polished.

basically click on the properties button, select a target directory and the delay between frames, then just click the "Play" button.

It creates a bunch of png images that you can then use to make a video, if you don't have a method already I can send you the command I've been using with mplayer, which is basically a one-liner. Really easy.

And don't forget to mention Windows Movie Maker. If you have Windows XP, you can create a movie really easy with drag and drop of the screen captures and it allows you to trim out images you don't want and even add transitions if you want. Pretty cool for being free and already installed.
You're just jealous 'cause the voices only talk to me.

Hey guys, I have posted our game sessions over at a site called actualplay.com, they collect links to actual play of RPGs. I figure it will be a good 'new market' to help showcase MT's awesome abilities to people that might not know about it.

So do a chap a favor and rate our session:
