I didn't forget about this question; I just couldn't answer it because I was in the middle of a run at the time. :) Total game time for me for this version is 14 days, 18 hours, 24 minutes, and 9 seconds. (Eek! Have I really been playing it this much? I only installed this a month and a half ago!) :o Of course, this isn't an accurate reflection of how much time I've spent sitting in front of my computer; I frequently get up to eat and do other things while the game is running, and some of the runs, (most notably, the Ao100 runs) I would leave the game on overnight, or leave it running while I go out for the day, so my actual game time is hard to say, but probably a few days at least.

I tried out Camstudio today. The version 2.6 beta from the above link didn't work, but version 2.0 works quite well except that I don't seem to be able to record games in full-screen mode. (I just get a recording of a blank screen) Is there any way around that, or am I just going to have to get used to squinting at a window while I play? :)
I also tried installing the Lossless codec as you suggested, but all three versions from the site failed to install with nothing more informative than the message, "Installation Failed."
I guess I'm going to have to get a Youtube account so I can post whatever I end up recording. I'm thinking of going for Elite Platinum for my first recording. It's tricky to accomplish without being *too* ambitious, and it'll be a good display of strategies I use.
rchandra:
I suspect you can't record actual console fullscreen, but you can enlarge the window. (Assuming Windows) right-click on the doomrl shortcut and edit the properties. in the font section, choose a larger size (I'm using Consolas 36-point font, and the window is around 70-80% of my monitor area - no squinting needed!). You will probably have to choose a truetype font.
Tormuse:
Okay, that was simple enough to fix. :)
Now, the sound recording is giving me trouble. :| I've tried adjusting every setting I can find; the sound either comes out distorted during playback, or out of sync, or too quiet... I was hoping to do a recording with a running audio commentary like in the videos Game Hunter posted, but I think I might just stick with a silent recording instead. It's probably just as well; I just did a fifteen minute silent recording to test it and the file size came to almost 100 Megs! (much bigger than I expected for no audio) I typically take a few hours to play through the game, so I'll probably have to break that up into a few separate files.
Deathwind:
I always thought Game Hunter's vids were post commentary as he seems to comment on events before they occur.
