Ok i need help with something.

How can i make a movie which captures everything inside my monitor? What i mean is that say if i wanted to capture myself playing a game (e.g. counter strike)how would i go about doing it? I know you dont have to have a camcorder infront of your monitor (duh) but what devices do i need to capture what i play?

nvm

Download Windows Media Encoder 9

Install and then run

The built in settings allows you to perform a video screen capture.

I'm not a gamer, but if you can ALT+ENTER to make the game windowed, you might not drop frames.

If you are looking to have the video on a VHS tape, then your video card needs some form of video out (svideo/rca), and at least the left channel (white) connected to your VCR.
