I wish I could help but I just checked and can't find it either...
I dimly remember something about it being b roken a while ago, but maybe someone more knowledgeable around here can help.

...um, will you make some more DW stuff instead? :D

They seem to be phasing it out, in favor of people using external software apps to create in-world movies.

The Mac version hasn't worked for quite a while, and they flat out refused to bother to fix it, citing readily available external software that does a far better job. And the last rumblings I have heard indicated the Windows verson of the capability was also on its last legs in 1.19. It wouldn't surprise me if it is entirely absent in 1.20.

Seems most people use Fraps, which is a free trial and/or a $40 license.. but yeah, I'm not disappointed to see the built in capture go away. It never worked well, and frankly would draw too much of the graphics gurus time away from more important matters to fix.
