How to Record a Video in GTA IV

Rockstar Games' action-adventure "Grand Theft Auto 4" was unleashed on the public in April 2008. "GTA4" received Gamespot's elusive perfect-10 rating, and boasted a bizarre but effective combination of a strong and involving storyline, an interesting and likeable protagonist, and a plethora of mindless violence. The game found a home on multiple platforms, but only on the PC version can players use the built-in Video Editor to create movies from clips captured in-game.
