hi

for example, i'm watching video in an explorer window and want to
capture what i'm watching.

whether it's a surfcam, that is, video of the ocean, or a news segment
from a news website, i'd like to be able to capture the audio & video
from the screen.

that is, to be able to pick a rectangle containing the video of
interest, and to then just save "it" (the video & audio appearing in
the capture window) to a file.

in the past i've pointed a webcam with a microphone at the computer
screen. that's kind of a clunky way to do it, and it generates huge
file sizes.

is there a Video Screen Capture program like this, available for
Windows XP ?

thanks !
