Hi vlsi,
sorry for the late reply, I'm just back from vacation.
If you want to record a video of a running simulation, you need to create the frames through the "record" button as you pointed out.
Creating the video from these frames is easy. On Linux, you can use either MEncoder or FFMpeg.
I usually work with MEncoder. This is a page that introduces you to the topic:

My favorite command is:
mencoder mf://DIR/*.png -mf w=WIDTH:h=HEIGHT:fps=10 -o OUTFILE -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=3000
where:
- DIR is the directory in which the frames are stored;
- WIDTH and HEIGHT are the width and height of the frames;
- OUTFILE is the name of the AVI file to create.
I also find this script extremely useful:
