camtasia or snagit it tink can do that.
if i understand you right..you want to capture whats on the monitor right?

The easiest way would probably be to have a video card with a good TV out like a Matrox g550 for instance. Then video tape from the TV out...

aguillon>> yes its easy.. but its a round trip becouse then i need to get it back in the computer for editing and so on.. but i wil try that one too.. thanks!

Here's what I do.

I have a ATI AIW card, i plug the TV-Out cable into the TV-In port of the card, switch the card to display the tv out signal then use any capture software (capturing TV-in) to capture.

This works for capturing DVD's in realtime, played full screen on my PC as well as all computer screen's available.

Hope this helps.

Yeah i will fully agree with you here camtasia would be the best program for this.
