I think recording a demo would be the best solution for your performance ingame.
Read for example here how it is done.

Yes, using something like fraps to screencapture the whole thing is still necessary, but you can focus more on playing than on capturing if you just record a demo and capture the replay afterwards.
You can also bind those commands used to record the demo to any keys you wish via the console.
(another point being is fraps at some point only captured a resolution of 600x480 in the trial version, which you surely wouldn't want to play on)

Maybe I'm unusual but I much prefer dumping a movie (startmovie in console I think) and compressing it with VDub or something similar instead.

coolDisguise:
The last time I looked into that movie recording stuff was back when Steam was released - so I wasn't aware of that possibility.

When I looked it up some ppl said the quality wouldn't be that good when specified as avi-file.

But hey, there's plenty of possibilities now, so JamesBondMan might just try and see which one fits his needs the best.

JamesBondMan:
Ok, so I figured out my problem. I recently got a new computer and installed half-life 2 and both episodes. Now i haven't played though half-life 2 on this computer(because i played thought it once on my other computer). anyways i was playing one of the levels the other day and saw a grenade ammo box, so i of course used it and had fun throwing grenades. I then went to the editor changed the ammo box's ammo type to grenade. I Complied and ran the map and tada! the grenade box was not a big ERROR sign. Though all the other ammo box's are still big errors, it shouldn't be to hard to fix.

Thanks for all the video recording idea's guys.

mookie:
I dump TARGAs (I don't trust HL2 to make an AVI file). So you have 30 raw image files per second, that's why you keep so much free space on C.
