I found an old Quake II demo I recorded and recammed a long long time ago. Now I wish to convert this to AVI and upload it to YouTube. My question is basically twofold.
First of all it's about getting the demo converted to AVI. I've found an engine mod that supports exporting to AVI. It seems to work pretty straightforward. However, because it's an engine mod I'm not free to use any other fancy engine mods that update the game's graphics. I'm interested if there's possibly any windows apps that can record AVI's straight out of my videocard's framebuffer and get the sound in there on the fly as well. This would allow me to use an engine mod for better graphics. Any general demo

The second part of the question is that once the first part is solved, what are some interesting Quake II engine mods that really beef up the game's graphics (while maintaining a distinct Quake II look). I've looked for o'dium's Quake II Evolved but that seems to have disappeared off the face of the internet. Any other options?
