Can I request a "How to" on successfully using the in-game .avi recorder please?

[Mysticpuma]

I am sure I am doing something wrong here and I wonder if anyone would post a "How to use the in-game .avi maker" in novice's terms please?

So-far any attempt I have made has resulted in the screen flashing Black and then showing 1 frame, flashing Black and showing 1-frame.

I think I must be doing something wrong as to render a file at the speed it seems to be doing it would take about 6-hours for a 10-second clip?

Hoping someone will consider posting an A-Z of how to use it including best quality render settings, etc, etc.
