Hi hobey19,

I assume you're talking about a video capture card. If so, check out the recommendations in this thread (http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57337).

As far as I know you can't record video without using a capture card. Most come with the needed software to record video and take screenshots.

Actually, I think what he wants to do is capture what he's doing on the computer screen (i.e. - moving the mouse around).

In that case, you wouldn't need a capture card, just software. I had a prog I fooled around with a few years ago that did this. Unfortunately, it had several limitations (since it was shareware), but I think it was called hypercam. I'm not sure.

Try www.zdnet.com to search for the program, then with the discrption, search google.
