    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

First I would like to say hello to everyone here on this forum as this is my first post here. NOW down to it lol..
My question is i am wanting to make a training vid and I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any program that would capture what I am doing on screen along with audio...? :confused: :confused:

It really depends how in depth you want to go. Technically speaking imovie should be enough. If you want to have some more control over things, I'd probably get a copy of Adobe Premiere, although as a video editor I despise that software, only because I need a more stable, faster, well designed program like Final Cut Pro 4, which I use now.

But if you just need something simple, again imovie should be good enough.

First thanks for your time in replying but you misunderstood my question. I have no need of a video editor as i have both premiere and final cut . The question is getting a program that captures what i am doing on screen such as this program for windows <<<<look here >>>>
again thanks for your time

O, i see what yer saying. No I don't know of any software that's going to capture exactly what yer doing on screen, but if you had a 3chip camera available and adjusted the f-stop to make sure there's no flicker on the screen, then you could film yourself doing it, with a close up on the screen.

But I'm unaware of software that would do that effectively. It's possible there's software that could do it well, but I wonder how good it could run when I'd assume alot of resources are necessary to capture video in general, let alone copy what yer doing in a program that would need its' own resources.

*shrug*

Looking over that link, I suppose that Camtasia software could be a good buy, the website tour certainly makes it look that way.

I'd look into downloading the demo if I were you. Also, **** if yer making money off of these training videos, I'd prolly buy the software.
