Screen Capture Program

[Ziggy007]

Anyone know of a program that records your screen. Using my digicam on the screen isn't really an option given that you will get that line running through it from the refresh rates. I need to record a good clean movie that follows my mouse etc etc.

-Thanks

SnagIt - It's good but with a free trial period only... :( :( :( But if it's a one-off thing, it should do the job...

There must be some freeware out there - I'd be interested too ???

hypersnap is great too, but its not free

Hit Print Screen (while holding ALT if you only want to capture the active window) then paste into Paint or any other image editing app.
To capture video from Media Player it usually won't work from the first instance of a video playback window.

I've been using Irfanview for a while now. Great free image program.

I've been using Irfanview for a while now. Great free image program.

Ziggy wants to capture a moving image I think... maybe for a demo or tutorial I suppose.

Ziggy, can you be more explicit ?

Whoops sorry. I didn't even read his whole message. :o

Yes I want to capture a movie on my desktop, not just take screenshots :razz: I could already do that.

Yes it is for somewhat of a demo purposes

I wonder how long it would take if you just strung together screen captures...? :D my friend did a movie using lego people....at least 10 minutes long and it was only choppy because of continuity between frames...not the framerate itself...

i used to use fraps to make videos with games. not sure if it works on desktop, though.

fraps is bad...
i tried it b4...
the free version can only take a very limited number of frames per seconds...
....
so if ne one knows ne thing better...that would be great

SnagIt for screenshots, Camtasia for video clips.

to take screenshots with video
go to display properties and turn off the hardware acceleration

wanna give windows media encoder a try?

[Ziggy007]

I checked out Camtasia website last night, seemed alright, I might give that a try. Any other software available to do this?

River Past has a lot of stuff.

I do believe torrents exist as well.....
