Hi,
I would like to know how can I do an automated video capture for a game walk through on a game such as Second life, etc? I am using camstudio to capture the video. Using windows, I wonder if shell scripting, or otherwise can do the job with camstudio?
Thank you.
If you're looking to script and automate your interactions with a Windows application e.g your mouse clicks and keystrokes on the CamStudio UI, you can try AutoIt (freeware).
The list of features from the AutoIt website:

- Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
- Manipulate windows and processes
- Interact with all standard windows controls
- Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
- Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
- COM support
- Regular expressions
- Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
- Scriptable RunAs functions
- Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
- Compatible with Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008
- Unicode and x64 support
- Digitally signed for peace of mind
- Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC)
Also try asking at superuser.com, there may already be applications that might be doing something similiar.
