If somebody wants just a one liner copy paste, use this (needs ffmpeg with libx264):

gource -1280x720 -o - | ffmpeg -y -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 1 -threads 0 -bf 0 gource.mp4

Something not explained in the docs; In a standard Windows GIT install the path to the git binary is not added to windows PATH environment variable by default. Instead GIT uses it's own command-prompt on windows. Thus running gource from the windows command-prompt will result in git not being found.

To enable git from standard windows command-prompt you will need to add it to the PATH environment variable.

From the windows command-prompt type (where C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin is the path to git on your computer):

set path=%path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

For generating the actual video in Windows (with Gource), check out the Windows section of http://code.google.com/p/gource/wiki/Videos. There is a related command run at an old SO post at Gource on Windows. The instructions here: http://nooshu.com/visualising-subversion-with-gource show how to generate a gource log file for svn, which gource can then play back. The git variation should be similar. Note that the original question concerned Gource.

Well, that video was created using Gource. It understands Git logs and there's a Windows version. Also, there's a Wiki write-up on creating videos with it here.

The gource wiki has good info on how to do it.
