.
In O.S.G.I. everything was recorded at 10% of normal speed and at 25 fps. I didn't use the AVI export because it is crap. I used FRAPS; an ingenious little program that allows you to directly record the DirectX stream. You can use it to record all DirectX based games.
http://www.fraps.com/It is $37 for a full version, but the demo version allows you to make (i think) 30 second recordings for free.
As I said earlier I recorded everything at 10% speed. Afterwards I increased the speed to normal in Adobe Premiere using frame-blending to create a motion blur effect and smooth out the typical jerkiness of the film player recording (there is something not quite right with the way the player averages between position updates). The slow-motion scenes are in fact the actual speed I recorded. Took a bit of time, but it was worth it.
