Can we have adjustable battle-replay-speed like in DomI?

OK I have to agree with everything here. For one thing FRAPS does seem to be the winner so far.

But I will keep looking. For another thing a recording isnt going to be very good. You lose ability to zoom in, check units, all the nice in-game options. Some sort of "movie viewer" option would be needed if Dominions made us a movie. If all its going to do is record the video then FRAPS will do it fine.
