Hi,

I am just wondering if there is anyway you can record what is appearing on your screen for a certain period of time, ie. say up to 10 minutes.

I am interested if perhaps you could hook it up to your VCR and record, or get a program that would save it in .avi or .mpeg or some other easily playable format.

Anybody got any ideas about that?

I know a program called SnagIt has video capture capabilties. Haven’t really read up on it, and I never used it, but you can read about it here…

There is a link on the side about Video Screen Capture.

Hopefully this helps you in some way.
