Hello guys,
I've been experiencing problems capturing videos of my DBPro game - they display nothing but a black screen.
The same thing happens if I try capturing an image with the "Print Screen" key. I managed to solve this by assigning F12 to a function that saves the game screen to an image.
Have you experienced similar problems? If so, how do you manage to record your gameplay videos?
Thank you all in advance.

use a monitor cam like Camstudio, Fraps, etc.. Use FRAPs! Its really good, I use it to record 1920X1200 Res in FPS creator games at 60FPS!!

Thank you for the help, guys!
I ended up buying a license for Game Cam Xpress, as it is quite cheaper than Fraps. Those were the two apps that worked for me, by the way.
Well, thanks to your assistance, I managed to upload the first gameplay video of Vytrox to youtube. Here it is:

In the video description, I included a link to the development journal I am keeping at GameJolt.
I will also open a WIP thread briefly with those links.
Once more, thank you for being so helpful. This is, indeed, a great community for indie developers not only because of the technology, but also because of its collaborative ways.
Cheers!
