Taksi is a screencasting program that can take screenshots and record video clips of game sessions and other similar 3D-graphics applications. Originally inspired by Fraps, Taksi aims to provide an open source alternative for video capture (screencasting).

As of the version 0.7.6, DirectX versions 8 and 9, OpenGL and GDI-based applications are supported by Taksi. Fullsize or half-size video recording is also possible.

Features:

  • Live video compression possible with any VFW video codec installed and usable on a Windows system (including but not limited to Xvid, DivX, etc), which can reduce the usually heavy load (associated with video capture) on hard disks.
  • Supports user-specified key binding.
  • Custom video settings supported and available on a per-game basis.
  • Video capture
  • Real-time computing
  • Screencasting
  • Screen capturing, formats available are PNG or 24-bit BMP.

Limitations

  • Audio is not captured. (to be expected in the future, now you can use external software to record sound)
