I don't know if there's an easy way to do this - but what I am looking for is a way to screencap/filming what "goes on" on the screen and save it as a flash/movie-file like you can see people have done on for example YouTube.com :?:

The original question from was about "filming" a whole window (for example an online poker table). Several replies pointed toward desktop-capture utilities; those are the right approach. A couple of important updates and practical steps are missing from the thread: Flash-era formats are now obsolete, most modern workflows record to MP4/WebM, and a reliable capture workflow should handle window-only recording, system audio, and safe file containers to avoid corrupted files on crash.

Practical workflow (cross-platform, modern): pick a recorder that can capture a specific window or a screen region and record system audio. Record to a robust container (MKV is common) while you capture; if the recorder offers remux-to-MP4 when finished, use that. To remux with ffmpeg (no re-encode):

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4

Record the exact window/region to keep file size down and simplify editing.

Recommended settings and tips: for spoken-demo or poker-style desktop capture, 30 fps is fine; use 60 fps only for fast-motion gameplay. For 720p, 3–6 Mbps is usually enough; 1080p typically 6–12 Mbps. Use hardware encoders (NVENC, QuickSync, AMF) if CPU load is a problem. Record audio at 44.1–48 kHz and 128–256 kbps for voice/music; if you plan to catalog sounds as mentioned, capture a high-bitrate or lossless track so you can export samples.

Troubleshooting and cautions: if system audio isn’t recorded, check OS privacy/settings or use a virtual audio loopback. If a particular window blocks capture, try a window-specific capture mode or elevate permissions. Respect site Terms of Service and privacy when recording online games or tables. For web embedding today, prefer MP4 or WebM rather than legacy Flash formats.

I love the idea behind it and as someone who uses a lot of the stuff in Komplete, being able to easily categorize
sounds would be a huge benefit

You may want to use Fraps, which is utility for games demo recording, but I expect you can record what ever goes on desktop. Not shure if it record sound but, you can add this in flash http://www.fraps.com/
