Solve : how to record desktop?

Answer»

hi there, can anyone help me how to record session in my computer? or any software can recommend me to use to record.
for example im watching video or movies in my computer and i want to record it with sound to play it again later.. The most piratical way is to use an eternal VCR device.
A software only solution n requires lots of CPU power. Unless you are wiling to accept a low-quality recording.
Withe a DESKTOP computer you can install a hard ware device to CAPTURE video. But the good ones a pricy. For the same money you can buy a VCR. About $200.
The best free solution I'd recommend is http://camstudio.org/ it does decent quality and isn't too resource intensive. As FAR as recording a whole video I'm not sure how a 2hr movie would handle since this program is saving to an AVI FILE. Usually, there are better ways of saving a video though instead of copying what's being shown on your desktop to a video. Of course you need to also remember copyright laws, if you're copying a full copyrighted video regardless of how you do it, it's considered illegal.If you are referring to capturing a video stream from the Internet there is software out there that can do that but like our Forum admin said that would be illegal depending on the circumstance.
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.htmlWith the right video card, you can output to a really nice video recorder, either DVD, VHS or both.

I just bought a nice Toshiba, VHS/DVD COMBO drive from "ComputerGeeks.com" for less than $120.
Besides being able to record TV programs to either VHS Tape or DVD disks, I can also copy my old VHS tapes
to DVD's for permanent storage.  (tape gets brittle with age,, while DVD's will last a lot longer)

Many inexpensive video cards have composite video or 'S-Video' outputs.  If S-Video is used, you'll also
have to patch the audio output to your recorder, as S-Video has no sound component to it.

I plan on doing some PC recording to my old Toshiba DVD recorder.  It's much more practical than trying to
record a program from the internet internally as a video file.  DVD recorders are meant for that, and PC's
are not.  Once I've recorded a program from my PC to a DVD, I can then play back the DVD on my big TV.
