If by "video" you mean a picture...

On my Laptop it's "PrtSc Sys Req", right next to the F12 button.

Just start pressing random buttons and try pasting them onto Microsoft Paint if that doesn't work for you.

When I say video, I mean video.

1. Buy a camera.
2. Tape video onto camera.

Picture quality may not be too great, but it works!

Zook... sadly, I've done this.

But it works indefinitely.

Umm... Hypercam. But there's a little thing on the top left corner that says "Unregistered Hypercam" in all honesty nobody's really bothered of it, but yeah.

Link: http://hyperionics.com/ Second product there.

You can also try Camtasia, but it only has a thirty day trial. It's like Windows Movie Maker but you can record with it, too.

Camtasia link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Video-Recording/Camtasia-Studio.shtml (don't worry, I downloaded Camtasia from SoftPedia. Though it's not the official Camtasia site, it looks safe to me.

Hope I've helped.

Download beta of xsplit at http://www.xsplit.com/, select the screen region you want to record, enable local recording, convert from .flv into desired format. Only legal method without crappy watermarks/trial versions I can think of off the top of my head.
