After you click OK, the recording will start and all your actions in the viewer will be recorded.
Note that if you change the size of the 3D viewer window, the avi file would be corrupt.

Note:
This functionality works only if there is jpeg2yuv utility installed on your computer. If this third-party product is missing, the Recording buttons will be disabled. This utility is a part of mjpegtool package, which can be downloaded from http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/. Run "which jpeg2yuv" to check whether this tool has been installed and the path to it was properly added to your PATH variable. If not, you need to activate mjpegtools indicating its location in the variable PATH. The syntax of the command should be as follows: export PATH=${INSTALL_ROOT}/mjpegtools-1.8.0/bin:${PATH}.
