Methods of Recording
Replays are normally saved in proprietary formats made by the developers. Replays recorded using third party tools, such as FRAPS, are a form of user-generated content. They capture the on-screen action and compile it into a video format. These replays have the advantage of supporting online playback via video sharing sites, like Youtube or Veoh, but take much more hard disk space than conventional replays.
Other utilities, such as Wegame interact directly with the game, and don't record directly from the screen.

Famous quotes containing the words methods of, methods and/or recording:
“I conceive that the leading characteristic of the nineteenth century has been the rapid growth of the scientific spirit, the consequent application of scientific methods of investigation to all the problems with which the human mind is occupied, and the correlative rejection of traditional beliefs which have proved their incompetence to bear such investigation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
