Using FRAPS, I've been recording some WoW gameplay video. I used VirtualDub to compress the video into something that I can share with you.
This video shows a trip I made from just outside of Sen'jin Village (1) heading north to Razor Hill (2) in the land called Durotar, which contains the main Horde city Ogrimmar (which is still further north from Razor Hill).

Durotar is just a small portion of the continent of Kalimdor. You can see it highlighted on the eastern shore here.

Kalimdor is just one of two main continents in World of Warcraft.

The trip took roughly 2 minutes, and you can see how very short of a distance I travelled relative to the size of the entire world. World of Warcraft is huge.
The video is encoded using the freeware and open source codec XviD. You'll need to make sure you have that codec installed before viewing it. It's 400 x 300, and runs at 15 FPS. I had to lower the quality quite a bit to keep the filesize down. The original uncompressed video is 255 MB (!). It looks a little jerky at some points, but that's mostly due to the "overhead" required by recording gameplay video with FRAPS.
This is my first attempt at video editting, so please bear with me if I screwed something up :)
(link disabled, sorry)
The video shows it somewhat, but the texture used on the road really looks great. It definitely has that "dried riverbed" look to it.
If my bandwidth is hit too hard with this, I may yank the file.
FUN FACT: At about the 1/3 mark, you can see a friendly fellow wave at me as I pass him by :)
