How Do You Take A Video Of You Desktop? - Is it possible?

scab_dog
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.

U may use software like Inspiron or use other software like me.

My favourite Desktop Capture SW:

2. ScreenCam
ScreenCam® saves the day for guyz just like you.

3. GrabCaptureScreen 2.0.5.3

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.

There is also a Freeware program called WINK that takes a series of screen captures and then blends them together. Might want to try that.

Oh yes, I too downloaded CamStudio. It's very nice looking, and doesn't even require admin priveleges to install. I also like the flash converter tool that it includes.

Hmmm...Other than playing, what is the use for these programs? They are somewhat fun, but other than that...

i've been using a software called snagit since quite some time now

its not free but i m very happy with it!
so i would recommned you to try it

it lets you record exactly that is going on your screen and the output is in the .avi format
its not limited to video itself but it can also take pictures and some extra features are also available

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.

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.

If all else fails you could just point a webcam at your screen if you have one.
