Depending on your OS, assuming you have Windows XP... try using Fraps or HyperCam, both are movie screen capture software. The SL Client native one is at best clunky and wasteful, when it works.

Both are try before you buy, but leave a 'watermark' on the movie, until registered for around 30 USD. There are cheaper/free versions available, but Fraps and Hypercam would be my personal choice.

GameCam!

I just downloaded GameCam which is easy to use and gives good results. I find the resulting quality of FRAPS captures unacceptable.

Better yet, during installation, it automatically finds and loads a current MPEG4 codec, which actually makes the native video capture routine (ctrl-shift-a) more usable!

I mentioned Fraps as many seem to prefer it. Personally I prefer HyperCam as it gives me 3 good functions that are important to me. The ability to save raw data uncompressed, To set a regional window for the movie capture, and to be able to pan that window in realtime for finer adjustment.
