I will post my complete setup, but I after trying a few different software packages I ended up getting the best results from Fraps. The really tricky part was figuring out the optimal encoding settings for getting HD up on the web.

Looking forward to the video capture suggestions. I tried my hands very quickly at Fraps once and it did not go well. Of course, my machine also makes fatal grinding noises and has approximately 512kb of video RAM.

Thanks for your opinion. I don’t want to start a debate on popularity of different RTS games, but if you want to challenge me it will have to be on SC2.

That may be true, but a lot of their web and server infrastructure (e.g. battlenet authentication) is done with Java technology. You can’t get away from the ubiquitous coffee logo.

ok, but that game is not coded in java.
