scab_dog 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 First of all i hope i posted in the right thread.Anyways..Can you actually take a video of your desktop using the already intsalled programs on Windows. Like Print Screen for example.?the way i do it know is connet my computer to the TV, and connect my TV to my computers Tv tuner card. and i use a PVR application to take a movie. But i'm gussing there would be a simpler way.If there is a freeware software that does this, can you post a link to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michaelper22 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2006 There's also Camtasia, which I'm sure is very expensive, but (as far as I can tell, after seeig Bob Taylor's LearnVisualStudio.net videos) is very professional. You can make slides, screencams, and have voice recording. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amhso 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 there's a program called "Wink" that records desktop. It's free and it's good. Just I think it records in flash maybe..and it's meant to make tutorials, but you can work with it...it should be able to take a vid of desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cragllo 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2006 Hi, I have also been looking for a certaion type of screen capure software. Im looking for a program that emulates a video capure card but actually records your on-screen activity.I want to be able to stream my desktop over the internet so I can show live gaming. The software I use for video streaming is NSV (Nullsoft Strreaming Video, Uses SHOUTcast technology). And you can either select a webcam or a video capure device as your source, But I Dont have one, and I dont want to buy one as i would not use it tbh,Thanks,Craig.
