recording what is on the PC monitor?

[Josh4u]

Seems like a strange question but does anyone know how to capture what is being shown on a pc monitor? I.e winamp playing and i want to record the visualisations (in high quality without juddering or slow playback) so camstudio is not really any use.

I am only wanting to create an "effects" disk so low quality is out of the questions - there must be someway i'm sure but it's a Sunday and i've a hangover so the brain is not in gear

Any info or help would be muc appreciated.

Josh.

Use hypercam. Its free and works well.

Go to Google type "screen capture software" without the quotes.
There was a lot of software listed. Some of the best that I have tried:
MediaCam AV 2.7.2
HyperCam 1.71
CamTasia Studio

Hope this helps.

You have to disable Hardware Acceleration.In Camstudio if you capture >352x240 you need a fast CPU.
