How do I capture what is on computer screen?

[YukonXL]

Hey guys & girls. I have a question. My friend got married a while back and hired a photographer for his wedding. The photographer (beside photos) gave him a cd with a slideshow creathed from iview. It's just a simple .exe files but has a slideshow of the photos and music to it. Well him and his wife would like it on DVD but didn't want to pay $500 for him to put it on DVD. I tried hooking it up to my AIW through SVideo... ugghh. I know of IGN they have video capture of games and they look "lossless" so I was wondering what I can do/use to capture this with sound of course. Thanks.

Camtasia Studio by Techsmith might help you. Try out the free trial. I think it is full featured, but not sure.

Have a sticky over at www.winsite.com in their software section , I think system utilities , for something like blutens screen recorder , not entirely sure how the spell the programs name , but you will find tons of freeware over there if you look .

Also try mwsnap , free , captures in variuos types , fullscreen , program window window , or free selection , I use it all the time for guides and stuff .

Do you know of anything that'd do a 1-to-1 copy of what's playing on the screen? Pretty much all screen capture programs I've tried create jaggy output if you have a 25fps film rolling, regardless of the size.

try iview demo for 21 days see if you can get the slides out but I don't think they would be good for dvd since resolution must be quite low. scan your pictures from wedding same ones or more create your own iview or create the same type of transitions in Ulead products and burn to dvd. Even in windows movie maker you can make certain transitions they might be even better than what you got and you enjoy creating them too.

There is a program called Screen Vidshot.
