if you are using the free version its limited to 30 seconds of footage. to record for as long as you want, purchase the full version.
The Spore record is V button, if you have Fraps you can record longer than 2 minutes, (THIS ONLY FOR REGISTERED FRAPS!). Download Razer gamebooster
buy the pro version for 37$US for longer than 30 seconds
To record Minecraft with FRAPS, simply press your record hotkey (usually F9) whilst in Minecraft. It will then record until you press your record hotkey again when it will stop.
You may be using a trial version. You should buy a full version to record longer videos.
use fraps fraps.com
it will record for no more then 30 seconds if you do not have the pro version
Fraps, or HyperCam
Fraps So i think
I would download Fraps and then record the game from there. At least that's if you want to make a video game playthrough for a PC game.
The usual was is to get Fraps but that costs money then you record ingame footage with fraps of you dancing or something then you put the video into windows movie maker and add a music file to it. Link: http://www.fraps.com/
